‎‘First Reformed’ review by BrandonHabes • Letterboxd

Watched 11 Jun 2018

FIRST REFORMED is an old, beat up, ultimately wise Paul Schrader in dialogue with a young, vigilante, TAXI DRIVER Paul Schrader. Imagine watching a pastor pray in the fiercest, darkest, soul-searching of ways with Travis Bickle. Imagine the insights of that film. That’s FIRST REFORMED. Both films are masterpieces. But they’re masterpieces x 1000 when seen in bloody, hellbent conversation. Oh, and throw in Bergman’s WINTER LIGHT and Bresson’s DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST for good measure. They’re in there too but updated with a modern, existential context.
