Synopsis

Reverend Ernst Toller of the First Reformed Church in Snowbridge, New York is writing down his thoughts in a journal for a year, after which he intends to destroy it.

First Reformed, a 250-year-old Dutch Reformed Church, faces dwindling attendance under Toller's leadership, which has taken the church in a new direction and away from its historical focus on Reformed theology.

In trying to manage his own life issues, Toller seeks a deeper experience through reading Roman Catholic (Thomas Merton and G.K. Chesterton) and mystical books (The Cloud of Unknowing).

This new spiritual direction leads him to seek support from a nearby charismatic megachurch, Abundant Life, which owns the historical landmark, and previous stop on the Underground Railroad.

2/10

I found the soundtrack of First Reformed to be lacking in emotion and depth. The music failed to capture the internal struggles and spiritual journey of Reverend Ernst Toller, leaving me feeling disconnected from the character's experience.

Amanda Martin

1/10

The choice of musical instruments felt out of place for a film set in a historical Dutch Reformed Church, detracting from the overall authenticity of the story. The soundtrack did not enhance the atmosphere of the film and instead felt like an afterthought, missing the opportunity to elevate the emotional impact of key scenes.
