The movie Devotion feels like it was made in the late 90s or early 2000s and I dont mean that in a good way. It takes an interesting story of bravery and sacrifice (all detailed and researched to perfection in Adam Makos book) and it turns it into an Oscar-bait flop. A LOT of liberties were taken with the story and with what the characters were like in real life. This movie turns the real story into mush in an attempt to feed a political oscar bait race. As for the movie itself, it is clunky and misshapen, the cinematography is too dark and stylized for this kind of picture. It looks like a music video! Overall, this is a disappointing movie about a war that needs more attention in cinema.
