Recommend or Refute: The Starling Girl, Knocking, and First Reformed
Dixon and John are running the show on this episode of Recommend or Refute! John talks about the Swedish thriller Knocking (2021), drawing comparisons to Invisible Man (2020), but will he ultimately knock it? Dixon opens his film bible to a new chapter and verse with The Starling Girl (2023) and its story of finding agency in a devout Christian community. After all is recommended and refuted, the guys offer thanks and praise to First Reformed (2017) and reflect briefly on the work of Paul Schrader.
