First Reformed - Movie Review (A24 NEW FILM) HD

Synopsis: Reverend Ernst Toller (Ethan Hawke) is a solitary, middle-aged parish pastor at a small Dutch Reform church in upstate New York on the cusp of celebrating its 250th anniversary. Once a stop on the Underground Railroad, the church is now a tourist attraction catering to a dwindling congregation, eclipsed by its nearby parent church, Abundant Life, with its state-of-the-art facilities and 5,000-strong flock. When a pregnant parishioner (Amanda Seyfried) asks Reverend Toller to counsel her husband, a radical environmentalist, the clergyman finds himself plunged into his own tormented past, and equally despairing future, until he finds redemption in an act of grandiose violence. From writer-director Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver; American Gigolo; Affliction) comes a gripping thriller about a crisis of faith that is at once personal, political, and planetary. #A24 #Firstreformed #MOVIEREVIEW #sandwichjohnfilms Link to sandwichjohnfilms Website: http://www.sandwichjohnfilms.com/p/about.html Youtube Channel for sandwichjohnfilms: https://www.youtube.com/user/sandwichjohnfilms Support me at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zachpope StarDust: ZachPope Link to download down below https://stardust.app.link/Invite Twitter for Zach Pope: https://twitter.com/popetheking Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachhpope/ The copyright act of 1976 under section 107, allows the use of copyrighted material for “fair use” purposes which includes , criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, and research.
