If you're a fan of Alex Garland's films Ex Machine and Annihilation you should know what to expect of Devs: striking visuals, a mesmerizing story, a bunch of deep philosophy, a ton of uncertainty, and some really depressing stuff.
The story involves a young woman investigating a tech company with a mysterious division called DEVS. DEVS is doing some nutty stuff, nutty people are doing that stuff, and some of those nutty people are acting like pschopaths.
Philosophically the movie explores determinism and multiple worlds, and I found some of it unconvincing at first. But when I read some threads on reddit I realized that even some of the least convincing things make sense if looked at from the right angle.
Which is to say, at the end of this you'll have questions and you'll find there are multiple answers. And if you know Alex Garland, that's exactly what you'd expect.
