Paul Schrader’s work is obsessed with men in perpetual crisis, frequently punctuated by acts of great violence. Rarely is the aura of his work so muted as it is in First Reformed, a late-career masterpiece from the purveyor of toxic masculinity in self-destruct mode. Think of the explosions of violence and impotent rage viewed in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, or Affliction, then turn around and give... read more

Forget the ending; before that an attempt on 'Journal d'un curee de campagne" in cold contemporary America. The new ambientalism as a religion a terrorism as its posible violent arm, exceeded by self chatiment is pure Schrader...

A good movie

Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out. Indeed, after a prolific career going over more than 40 years, Paul Schrader had finally another critical hit. Well, it turned out to be a challenging movie, that’s for sure, and I have to admit that I had a rather hard time to connect with it. Indeed, the damned thing was just so dark, and to be h... read more

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out.

Well, it turned out to be a challenging movie, that’s for sure, and I have to admit that I had a rather hard time to connect with it. Indeed, the damned thing was just so dark, and to be honest, quite depressing. Eventually, what was Paul Schrader getting at? Was it about a pastor struggling with his faith or maybe with life in general? What was the link with the current worldwide climate crisis? There were also a couple of really surreal scenes involving Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried which made the whole thing even more difficult to grasp but it also made the movie even more i” read more

" Date: 2/20/2021 Viewed: Amazon Prime (Rental) First Viewing Note: I finally got the chance to watch this movie after hearing many good things about it. The reason why I didn't bother watching this movie until now because movies that normally deal with both science and religion end up coming off as super cringy. Thankfully, this movie was awesome and it blew away my expectations. First Reformed is a fantastic movie from start to finish in my opinion. I can totally see why people compare this"
