Devotion Reviews

Jam-packed with powerful performances and stunning imagery, Devotion is one of the most emotionally resonant action movies in years.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 24, 2024

Devotion doesn’t have the impact it should have, even if Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell give powerhouse performances.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 6, 2024

The aviation drama tells the thrilling and tragic story of Jesse Brown, the first African-American aviator to complete the basic flight training program of the U.S. Navy.

| Oct 4, 2023

Devotion may not break the mould for war or aviation films. Still, it is a well-directed and entertaining film that is perhaps a tad too long but elevated by superb performances from Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2023

Stylized and cultured, Devotion soars when least expected and is brought to life by its talented ensemble cast led by Jonathan Majors & Glen Powell.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Devotion tells a character-driven story with emotionally complex protagonists, proudly focusing on honoring forgotten heroes and interestingly developing moral themes despite the somewhat repetitive structure.

| Original Score: B | Jul 25, 2023

Jonathan Majors & Glen Powell are the real deal. Fantastic cinematography & riveting performances Devotion sticks out and makes itself different enough than Top Gun!

| Jul 25, 2023

Devotion is another example of Majors proving that he is one of the finest young actors working today, but he, and Ensign Jesse Brown, deserved a richer script.

| Jul 24, 2023

Its heroism lies in being true to its characters and their stories rather than trying hard to make it a larger-than-life war drama without a beating heart.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 14, 2023

The script is respectful to a fault, taking a muted, Masterpiece Theatre approach to a full-blooded tale.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 5, 2023

Well made with thrilling aerial sequences, the film falters when it tries to decide who the main character is.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 4, 2023

Majors' rising star shines bright in Devotion as he brings a real-life hero to life on screen.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2023

this leaner indie-type production still packs a punch with lead stars, Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell, leading the war along with some riveting aerial battle footage.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 19, 2023

I wish we had learned more about Jesse Brown but this film didn't go deep enough for me. This should have been an Oscar contender but there wasn't enough focus on Jesse's plight and his relationship with Tom Hudner for me to be emotionally invested.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2023

Despite a really strong performance by Jonathan Majors, this film is very uneven with regards to pacing and character development. It should've been a contender.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2023

A by-the-book biopic... that takes off propelled by Brown's real story but can't surpass Pete 'Maverick'' Mitchell's Mach 10. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2023

This is a solid and unflashy movie about a little-understood war and some genuine American heroes who were a part of it.

| Jan 30, 2023

With plenty of heart and soul, Devotion is an emotional spectacle, packed with soaring highs and gut-wrenching potency.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 28, 2023

Devotion foregrounds the virtue of devoted relationships: faithfully showing up for one another and following through on duty, whether in marriage or friendship or war.

| Jan 27, 2023

Beautiful people in warplanes, always a winning combo. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 25, 2023
