First Reformed - BLU-RAY

A24 delivers again! First Reformed is my second favorite film of 2018. The script is so vividly original while delicately tackling certain hot pressed issues. Combining moody themes and supplying delicious atmospheric tone! The direction and cinematography are gorgeous, haunting, and bleak. The design is so grounded and gives a very realistic and lived in aspect. A must see!

Was a slow burn, like an old movie horror, but a drama. Great acting by all involved with an open, abrupt ending. (tip: the light in the last scene, room)

A really good and unsettling movie. The darkness of the subject matter is what makes this movie pretty though provoking. Ethan Hawke is always great.

Ethan Hawke was severely snubbed for Best Actor, hes absolutely terrific. Slow burn thriller with a bizarre wrap ending, but interesting.

Haven’t actually seen the film yet but all I hear are positive things about it! I’m interested bc I think Ethan Hawke is a great actor but also bc it was written and directed by Martin Scorsese’s long time collaborator Paul Schader (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, etc.).
