Review of First Reformed (2018) by Jakobkross — 11 Aug 2018

First Reformed is solid gold. The film is striking on a visual level because every shot is rich with balance, depth and artful levels of symmetry, despite the fact that the film is presented in an unusual aspect ratio, it pulls its viewers in with nonstop beautiful photography. Meanwhile, a thought-provoking story unfolds with some of the best acting I've seen in awhile. The entire cast (from Hawke to Seyfried to Cedric Kyles) delivers fantastic performances.

First Reformed's fantastic qualities combined into an experience that is more than a movie, it is a piece of art. If you like technique, you will love First Reformed.
