Six months into a pandemic that has grounded much of the world, I not only miss traveling, I miss the small rituals of flying. The plane movie, for instance.

The new Netflix film The Devil All the Time is a sprawling Southern gothic notable for two things: 1) it’s relentlessly grim, and 2) it contains some truly inspired accent work.
