I already knew, but if I hadn't, hope I'd been experienced enough to guess this plot was from the same person who wrote Taxi Driver. Young man sees filth taking over the world, and with an attractive girl in his rear-view mirror, goes on a naive crusade to single-handedly save the world. Only that this time, the man is a priest, wising up about the apocalypse of climate change. So to avoid the same Travis Bickle ending, Ethan Hawke’s perfect performance notwithstanding, Schrader delivers a final moment so contrived and manufactured, it almost makes you angry.
