Editor’s note: Our short take on The Devil on Trial (2023): Firmly a Documentary, Drama, Crime piece, but with a personal touch. Chris Holt keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Carlo Adamo, Hannah Mae Beatty, David Glanzer anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. Clocking in at 1h 21m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. The marketing line “Did the devil do it?” isn’t just flair; it’s fairly accurate. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
