Review of First Reformed (2018) by Eileen K — 12 Jun 2018
Ethan Hawke gives his all--which is considerable--with nary a flicker of his usual motor-mouthed Texan charm as backup. Strong performances across the board and emotionally harrowing, up till the ending which is either transformative or a major cop-out.
depending on your point of view. Only Paul Schrader could've made this; that's both an endorsement and warning.
