First Reformed

Sometimes, you have to try and come to terms with what you’ve just watched. The movie stays in your head for days, weeks and even months. That is what I think makes a film incredible — how its details and hidden meanings are open to endless discussion. So little movies have that effect on me. With no surprise, First Reformed blew my mind. This is a movie that perfectly encapsulates the feeling of despair and losing hope. I was speechless at the end. All my expectations were surpassed. As someone who went through many phases of depression and anxiety, i only feel heartbroken for Toller. This film made me feel a sort of sadness that i’ve never felt from a movie in a long time. The cinematography was mesmerising. Every frame in this film was perfectly executed. This is an achievement.
