First Reformed

After an alcoholic, former military chaplain (Ethan Hawke), who is grieving for his son and is questioning his faith, at a 250-year church in Snowbridge, New York, counsels a depressed parishioner (Philip Ettinger), who is preoccupied and worried about the dire state of the Earth, and his pregnant wife (Amanda Seyfried) in Paul Schrader's powerful, somber, poignant, well-acted, unsettling, star-studded (Cedric the Entertainer. Michael Gaston, and Bill Hoag), 108-minute film with a shocking ending, he tries to pretend everything is all right while preparing for an elaborate re-consecration ceremony.
