Review
"Over the decades, even as his budgets grew smaller, Schrader's fluidity as a director has grown, and it has, I think, even since "First Reformed."--Chicago Tribune"One of the best films of the year."--Richard Roeper"Isaac delivers a mesmerizing portrayal of the latest iteration of Schrader's favorite cinematic avatar: a professional poker player grappling with a harrowing and guilt-ridden past."--Washington Post
