60 of 125 · most liked firstfor legal reasons this is a joke and per the contents of the movie as one would know this does not constitute a threat of any caliber as this is entirely a comedic reference to a very good dramatic film FIRST REFORMED (2017) starring ethan hawke about the conflict between faith and climate action.
neutral · AI labelView post →thinking of the film FIRST REFORMED today
neutral · AI labelView post →First Reformed is another good contender for “movie that a lot of people wanted OBAA to be” so yall should watch that
positive · AI labelView post →First Reformed, How To Blow Up A Pipeline…. The Battle of Algiers. These are all great movies. OBAA is also a great movie but its doing a different thing.
positive · AI labelView post →i've recommended it several times but the best movie i've seen about living through this moment is First Reformed and i cannot recommend it enough. it's very explicitly about holding both hope and despair in your heart at the same time, and whether that's an inherent and unresolvable contradiction
positive · AI labelView post →i used to go to theaters when i had some spare cash and time and say "give me a ticket for whatever the next showing is" and hope i saw something decent. i often did! that's how i first saw First Reformed in 2018 in Chicago. incredible film!! i had not heard of it until that day, somehow. it works!

positive · AI labelView post →The Bitter Kitten Movie Club: FIRST REFORMED (2017) Join us as we unpack director Paul Schrader's darkly contemplative look at faith, hope and despair and try to come up with a theory about that ending tomandlorenzo.com/2026/06/the-...
neutral · AI labelView post →In its way, watching First Reformed with extremely tonally jarring Tubi ad breaks is the truest experience of the movie
positive · AI labelView post →That knives out movie was like if you mix First Reformed with LOTR
neutral · AI labelView post →BONUS EPISODE: First Reformed, Kierkegaard, and Religious OCD. Jesse and Lucy chug some Pepto Bismol and watch First Reformed, a film in which Ethan Hawke plays an alcoholic reverend awash in climate despair and crises of faith. We talk philosophy, scrupulosity, and top 10 creamy salads.
neutral · AI labelView post →Damn, Paul Schrader too? Back in 2017, he gave an interview claiming that audiences were letting filmmakers down after First Reformed slipped beneath the radar. Now that he’s pro-AI, it sure casts that film in a much more cynical light - pro-environment until an AI bro offers him a wad of cash. (1)
neutral · AI labelView post →First Reformed (2017) is one of the most provocative and ballsy studio-backed films of this era in cinema that I've seen. Greed, environmentalism, hope and despair: it's a film with a lot to say and a lot to think about. youtu.be/0MNvHVAs3BM
positive · AI labelView post →Absolutely hilarious that a guy could make a movie like First Reformed and then say stuff like this just a decade later.
neutral · AI labelView post →Is this about the movie "First Reformed"? Never heard of it but it's the best guess I can come up with from the meme.
neutral · AI labelView post →This guy makes First Reformed, a movie about existential despair in the face of climate catastrophe and then wants to use climate destroying AI. Cool stuff
neutral · AI labelView post →absolutely, i have no quibbles with the theological critiques, I guess I just find many/most film depictions of church or a clergy to be rough going, even movies I love like First Reformed have to be moved to Make Believe for me. I’d read your takedown too, I like all this stuff
positive · AI labelView post →Tbh posting that stuff under a still from First Reformed is especially ridiculous; that movie is somewhere between longest darkest night of the soul and fuck it let's just bring back Russian nihilism because who cares
neutral · AI labelView post →I know a lot (a *LOT*) has happened this year, and I love Schrader's films (First Reformed especially), but I would be remiss if I posted this and did not also link to the story that broke this April wrt: the allegations of sexual harassment and assault between Schrader and his former assistant.
neutral · AI labelView post →I did two fun podcasty things this weekend: a group discussion of Pasolini's MAMMA ROMA yesterday, and a guest appearance to discuss "faith on film" with a couple of friends, incl. my choice (FIRST REFORMED) along with THE ELEPHANT MAN and THE FLOWERS OF ST. FRANCIS. I feel uplifted and inspired.
positive · AI labelView post →When First Reformed came out, it was the first movie to come out in a decade that I was actually excited about. Imagine another 10 years passing and the only reaction I can summon for a new Paul Schrader project is to hope it tanks.
positive · AI labelView post →FIRST REFORMED premiered at the Venice Film Festival on this day in 2017. Directed by Paul Schrader and starring Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Sicario (2015) and First Reformed (2017) always a fun time to watch a movie that makes you huff when you're done
positive · AI labelView post →First Reformed [86] is now on Netflix: www.metacritic.com/movie/first-... #11pmspecial "A stunning, enrapturing film, a crowning work by one of the American cinema’s most essential artists." - Godfrey Cheshire, RogerEbert .com
neutral · AI labelView post →Listen, First Reformed is a good movie, but I just finished my ethics training and I think this falls under the "refer your congregant to an outside counselor" guidelines.
positive · AI labelView post →I saw FIRST REFORMED premiere at the Montclair Film Festival and Schrader came on afterwards. First thing he did was ask the audience if we thought the ending really happened, or if it was a hallucination or vision. By show of hands, the theater was evenly split. He just smiled and said, "good."
neutral · AI labelView post →#AprilMovieChallenge #FilmSky 🎥 A movie with followers of a religious group. First Reformed (2017)
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, also First Reformed, even though it's Protestant and not Catholic. Great movie about the elemental struggle of faith.
positive · AI labelView post →Making First Reformed just to go on and make an "AI movie" sure is a choice
neutral · AI labelView post →really happy to see Silent Running getting some retrospective love lately. that was a really formative movie for me, a little proto First Reformed if you will
neutral · AI labelView post →First Reformed...God, what a film. I would never relate to Ethan Hawke as a moral obsessive raised Reformed
positive · AI labelView post →I was a guest on the FilmSwap podcast this weekend. Topic was "Faith on Film". I suggested FIRST REFORMED, hosts nominated THE ELEPHANT MAN and THE FLOWERS OF ST. FRANCIS. We discussed all three! Here's the graphic, follow the link to access this episode using site/format you prefer www.filmswap.uk

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Empty Man because I read that Lustmord did the soundtrack I thought his score added so much to the movie that I decided to finally check out the other movie he scored, First Reformed, and his work on that one is even more intense
neutral · AI labelView post →Don’t get me started on Paul Schrader also giving up the ghost here. First Reformed was a great recent-ish film but again, fuck it if he’s all in on this grand illusion of infantile idiocy that’s where his filmography ends in my book. Soderbergh too for his Lennon ‘Documentary’.
positive · AI labelView post →First Reformed rips. I am late to this I know… still, banger film and fantastic performance from Ethan Hawke.
positive · AI labelView post →Strangely these are my favourite kind of films, as there is something cathartic about emerging from an emotional roller coaster. These films have stayed me with long after: * Irreversible * 21 Grams * Never Let Me Go * Burning * First Reformed * The Long Walk
neutral · AI labelView post →Its more film bro popular than mass appeal but I hated First Reformed so much (not due to the surrealism idc about that)
negative · AI labelView post →Today's Schrader for me: First Reformed. Amazing film.
positive · AI labelView post →Paul Schrader hasn’t made anything relevant since First Reformed, he really should stop at this point and hopefully that AI trash film he is making is the final straw.
neutral · AI labelView post →Chris, hey, have you seen the movie First Reformed?

neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah but Telemachus is left with a kingdom significantly poorer. He and Penelope find peace but aware that their generation will get off easier. That’s the despair of the film, like Nolan giving up on climate change being solved. Just wait out and hug while you can, like the end of First Reformed.
neutral · AI labelView post →First Reformed (I dig that movie) sent me on a Merton fit… that dude. ❤️❤️❤️

neutral · AI labelView post →Absolutely essential reading for anyone seriously interested in film; written by a 24 year old Paul Schrader, who would become screenwriter and director of some of the most important films of the last century including Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Mishima: a Life jn Four Chapters, and First Reformed.
neutral · AI labelView post →The concept of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery being THE best American film about Christianity since First Reformed… YES SERIOUSLY
neutral · AI labelView post →honestly I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was a mistake to hand it to Paul Schrader for First Reformed. That movie rocks the house but we should've just pat him on the head and let him recede back into director jail, he's been too emboldened by this career resurgence
positive · AI labelView post →KBJ should watch First Reformed. it's a great film.
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway on a totally unrelated note you know what's a good film, First Reformed. Ending sucks but the central idea is spot-on.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking of screening Paul Schrader’s 2017 First Reformed on Ash Wednesday. What might be an Easter response in film? Obviously not needing explicitly religious/Christian content.
neutral · AI labelView post →First Reformed is a Christmas movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I've not seen a movie with Paul Schrader's name since The Last Temptation of Christ, and for some reason i have no interest in filing in those blanks no matter how rapturous the reviews for a few have been. I almost caved on FIRST REFORMED, but then i thought, "I'm looking to this guy for depth?"
negative · AI labelView post →First Reformed really is one I think about often still. Great movie
positive · AI labelView post →How the fuck do you make a movie like First Reformed and then turn around and make an AI movie because you didn't bother to ask any black people if your script sucked or not. Like, what?????????????
neutral · AI labelView post →I will never understand how he made First Reformed, an actually good film.
positive · AI labelView post →Last Repost: First Reformed was the last Paul Schrader film I cared about nearly a decade ago now, once again like with others I’ve mentioned that’s going to be where I stop in his body of work. Don’t give this Gen AI shit an inch. In. The. Bin.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched First Reformed last night and just god. I can't remember the last time I felt so emotionally hollowed out by a movie
positive · AI labelView post →Recently watched First Reformed with Ethan Hawke and I gotta say, I haven't watched a great thrilling drama like that in a long time. It's slower paced than the average film, but I like the tension of the urgency with environmental education and the tangles of faith. #filmsky
