Devotion - Kritiken

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

...an inoffensive respite with the family while at home for a couple of days. The parents will love it and weep.

Majors and Powell's performances elevate this biographical war drama about the United States' first Black Navy pilot into a touching character study.

Dillard manages to balance the several concerns of anti-racism movies with the heroism of Brown without succumbing to maudlin, craven techniques.

...this polished double biopic distinguishes itself with a solemnity and stillness in the moments between missions.

That it was made with some sense of care for the real-life figures at its center makes it slightly more admirable than other movies of its type.

Man tager sig selv i at holde vejret flere gange undervejs. Det gælder både krigsscenerne og i sammenstødene mellem Jesse Brown og de andre soldater.

...ett smart utförande av en berättelse som enkelt kunde ha fallit i många typiska fällor som mindre eftertänksamma filmer ofta hamnar i.
