Reviews

Stephen Holden
New York Times
In its dry and forceful way, it delivers the same message as Jiri Menzel's Closely Watched Trains and Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land.

V.A. Musetto
New York Post
A wild ride that effortlessly combines devilish dark humor, slapstick comedy, extreme violence and bitter satire.

Dennis Lim
Village Voice
Shot in rich, shadowy black-and-white, Devils chronicles, with increasingly amused irony, the relationship between reluctant captors and befuddled captives.
