We have a first look at Ethan Hawke as Reverend Ernst Toller, a middle-aged parish pastor at a small Dutch Reform church in upstate New York in ‘First Reformed’
The thriller is from writer-director Paul Schrader and sees Ethan Hawke have a crisis of faith after encouraging his son to join the military and then having to bury him six months later. “I know that nothing can change,” he says, “and I know there is no hope.”
In theaters May 18th, the film follows Hawke’s Ernst Toller, who is grappling with the death of his son in Iraq, when one of Toller’s parishioners, Mary (Amanda Seyfried), asks for his help counseling her husband, a radicalized environmentalist. This sequence of events plunges him into the despair of his own past and future until it reaches a breaking point.
The film also stars Cedric the Entertainer
