Alcoholic priest Ethan Hawke sipping Pepto Bismol mixed with whiskey while watching suicide bomber internet videos is probably the most Paul Schrader thing I've ever seen in my life. First Reformed goes DARK and projects a real sickness of the soul and disgust with humanity and thorny Calvinist hangups and problematic female characters that can only come from Schrader. He's back flop sweating on his typewriter, y'all! Dude's got some demons for sure.
