Violet Ratings & Reviews
Floating World
Dustin Chang
Devos knows just about how long to hold a mute static shot or hover over youth inhabiting suburbia to have resonance and depth. The 7 minute one shot ending is worthy of Antonioni comparison.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Violet is a moving film but may not be for everyone as it is slow, moody, and depressing.
Way Too Indie
C.J. Prince
Each shot could stand out on its own as a striking short, but together they can have a surprisingly overwhelming effect.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
Violet is an atmospheric drama that relies on its visuals to get the audience into the headspace of the main character. It is an arresting and intense watch that is wholly worth the experience.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Kathy Fennessy
I'm not sure [Bas] Devos's avant garde style suits the slight story, but the film grew on me after awhile because of some especially otherworldly scenes.
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
Violet is like looking at a sequence of mounted photos. You may well find its beauty if you can hold the film's gaze, but the viewer's one-way relationship to this meditation on grief is so unchanging it'd take a monk to appreciate it.

Glenn Kenny
I wound up admiring the movie for its ambition while unsatisfied with its achievement.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The film asks us to grapple with what we don't know, to the degree our patience allows. But there is so much splendor here that you may not mind the emptiness.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
As a screenwriter - for this picture at least - Devos puts too much stock in his visual style to carry the meaning of a thinly plotted, snail-paced slice-of-life.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
While Devos gets a little too wrapped up in his process, trying to remain elusive, he certainly has a vision for the endeavor that braids art with ache, looking to make sense of personal loss.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
The final image, an 8-minute sequence shot, is a wonder to behold and ends the film on a perfect and perfectly poetic note.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Intensely stylized, highly original and utterly mesmerizing.
The Playlist
Nikola Grozdanovic
This is an exquisitely shot suburban tale of trauma, stretching the "show-don't-tell" golden rule of filmmaking to the furthest reaches.
Village Voice
Calum Marsh
Violet is deft and rigorous, oblique to the point of inscrutability.
Slant Magazine
Christopher Gray
It bores into the mourning process and its piquant combination of emotional numbness and sensory vulnerability, rigorously avoiding finding an easy way out of this quagmire.
