First Reformed Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
The latest film from pugnacious director/writer Paul Schrader is as austere and revelatory as a church confessional...It's a bleak portrait of a man in the midst of a spiritual breakdown that is only slightly undone by its rather unsatisfying conclusion.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
First Reformed is a bleak, punishing movie and the furthest thing imaginable from an easy crowdpleaser. But Hawke juices it with an austere sense of grace.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"First Reformed" takes some wild, unexpected and uncomfortable turns in its final act that will surely shock some, anger others and disturb just about everyone. For Schrader, it shows that he's still got it. Welcome back.
National Catholic Register
Steven D. Greydanus
First Reformed can hardly imagine a hopeful future for the world, [yet] the film is full of longing for redemption... Toller hopes that his journal is a kind of prayer. Perhaps Schrader hopes the same for his film.

A work that most 30 year old's would welcome, and one that a 71 year old might have thought would never come around again.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
An unforgettable powerhouse.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
This is a movie about faith tested, and people trying to reconcile hope with a world that can feel hopeless. It's a film to be seen in a dark theater with an audience hushed in reverence of the power of cinema.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"First Reformed" is an amazing examination of faith, a film that stays with you long after you have left the theater.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
It lingers uneasily in the subconscious. Furious and darkly funny, it's a tight, explosive encapsulation of our very specific moment in history.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
This scenario is serious almost to the point of silliness: It could be parody of a morality play. But the heaviness is also essential to the architecture and impact of what I'm thinking is the year's first maybe-great American movie.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
Schrader's film is a wise, shocking, intellectually prodigious masterpiece.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A "Taxi Driver" for the present day, with Hawke in a career-best performance.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A direct expression from the soul onto celluloid, unvarnished and uncompromised, and Schrader's best film in years.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
An act of spiritual inquiry, a coolly assured example of cinematic scholarship in subtly deployed motion and one of the strongest pictures of 2018.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
Is ambition is encouraging, and its dark musings are certainly provocative.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
First Reformed hums disquietingly along at Schrader's own clockwork pace which, like Hawke's mesmerizing performance, is austere, stoic, and ultimately self-destructive. It's a glorious piece of filmmaking...
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"First Reformed," a mesmerizingly austere drama of one man's apocalyptic crisis of faith, feels like the movie Paul Schrader was put on this planet to make.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
First Reformed begins to get really interesting when Schrader turns the tables on his hero-and us, and possibly himself.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Provocative and mesmerizing, "First Reformed" is a film that demands to be seen.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Schrader pulls no spiritual punches.
