Review of First Reformed (2018) by Kwp1039 — 25 Mar 2019
‘First Reformed’ is a 2018 Drama/Mystery film by director Paul Schrader. With exceptional use of the ‘long shot’, which is executed to evoke a vast array of emotions from the viewer; ‘First Reformed’ offers a deep look at spirituality, moral convictions, and disillusionment.
Ethan Hawke’s performance, and the development of his character, not only keeps the audience engaged, but keeps them questioning at every turn. ‘First Reformed’ ends with a beautifully shot, yet ambiguous ending, that leaves the audience constructing their own ending in a truly original way.
