When I saw First Reformed back in July, I wasn't really sure what I was in for. Written and Directed by Paul Schrader, this is about the despair that comes from losing ones faith and trying, somehow, to reclaim it. What raises this film above your average movie, though, is Schrader's script and Ethan Hawke's performance as the Rev. Ernst Toller. Plus the desolate look of the film set in good ol' upstate NY in...winter? Fall? It's hard to tell its all gray. Y'all recognize that, I am sure.
My original take on this movie can be found here if you're interested.
