Staff Pick: First Reformed

Floor staff member Nathan Vitale is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Paul Schrader's First Reformed.

"It definitely speaks to a lot of the themes that people are dealing with right now," Vitale says. "I think it talks about isolation, social isolation, despair in the world, and I think what that can do to people if it goes too far."

Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is streaming on Kanopy and Amazon Prime, and available to rent on most platforms.
