This was.... interesting. It's one of those films that tries to do too much and ends up falling short. It was a bit all over the place for me in terms of not only style, but also storyline and characters. There are some really incredible dialogues, and the connection between [spoiler] the catholic religion and environmental activism was something that I had never thought about before and yet makes so much sense, so that was definitely my favourite part about this film: it touches a subject and a discussion through an original perspective, even if at times it felt a bit propagandistic. [/spoiler] The ending sure was something.. not particularly one I liked, though. 8/10

"Will God forgive us?" A very interesting film. It's slow and raises a lot of questions. The third act had me on the edge of my seat and left me wanting more. I went in hearing it had some Taxi Driver vibes and I can say that they do feel similar. It makes sense since the director, Paul Schrader, wrote Taxi Driver. Ethan Hawke was amazing. A very subtle performance but one of the best of the year so far. Amanda Seyfried was great too and even Cedric the Entertainer gave a fantastic performance in a serious role.

Do not be deceived, this is an art film. Don't expect a clear cut plot with any attempt at a reasoned outcome. Paul Schafer is re-imaging two films (DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST and WINTER LIGHT*) and when asked to comment on the possible explainations of his ending "during an appearance on the A24 podcast, Schrader admitted to Sofia Coppola that he isn’t sure, either — but he has some ideas"^. RANT - I'm getting very tired of pretentious art film - END RANT. [spoiler] I could have forgiven a heavy-handed political agenda film or a choreographed decent into insanity but this film was a waste of time [/spoiler]. It was all promise and no payoff. I give this film a 4 (fail) out of 10.

"There goes my head"

whoa....

It's strange, two years ago Paul Schrader made the most convoluted movie of his career with 'Dog Eat Dog', then make something so masterful like this. Anywhere...

'First Reformed' is easily one of my favorite movies of 2018. Absolutely captivating from start ti More

The cinematography felt so uninspired and boring. Nearly every shot in the first third were perfectly static cameras, placed orthogonally lined up on a single object (door frame, bush, pulpit) or a strong vertical smack dab in the middle of the frame. And the characters simply milled about within th More

I don't believe I've ever seen a film shot so deliberately. Almost every single angle is framed with precision and intent. Like a Wes Anderson film sapped of any and all whimsy. Many shots linger in a style not often found outside of horror films, in the scenes they intend to deliver the audience a More
