First Reformed (2018)

Hawke plays the pastor of a church which makes more off of its historic "tourist" angle of being a stop on the underground railroad than it does from its tiny congregation. He's withdrawn from society since the death of his son, but finds himself pulled into the drama of a young couple. Soon, he's seeing life through a different lens and becoming passionate about the world at large.

I was sucked in by the quiet power of the story and the mental wrestling of the pastor. However, the ending went a bit off-course and drags the film down a bit.
