この映画について

From Golden Globe® Nominee Director Paul Schrader* (Taxi Driver, American Gigolo, Affliction), FIRST REFORMED is a brooding, thriller-drama centred around Ernst Toller (Academy Award® Nominee Ethan Hawke**), a troubled priest of a small, historical church in upstate New York, who starts to spiral out of control after a soul-shaking encounter with Mary (Amanda Seyfried) and her husband Michael, an unstable environmental activist. Consumed by thoughts that the world is in danger and motivated by the church’s lack of action, Toller embarks on a perilous self-assigned undertaking with the hope that he may finally restore the faith and purpose he’s been longing for in his mission to right the wrongs done to so many.

評価とレビュー

This is a complex and troubling movie which deals with the connection between the personal and the political in an original way. Ethan Hawke's performance is simply brilliant and grounds the more idiosyncratic filmic effects. The best movie of the year.

interesting but extremely slow & disappointing end. Nothing to see here!
