THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE
Mona Fasvold’s The Testament of Ann Lee is stunning new musical drama about the creation of the Shaker Movement, co-written with Brady Corbet (The Brutalist), and led by Oscar Nominee Amanda Seyfried (Mank, Mamma Mia!).
An epic fable about religious leader Ann Lee, the founding leader of the Shaker Movement, who was proclaimed by her followers as the female Christ and went on to build one of the largest utopian societies in American history. Lee – one of the rare female religious leaders at the time – and her followers worshipped through exuberant song and dance.
★★★★★ ‘The Testament of Ann Lee is a wild, wonderful tribute to one hell of a woman and Seyfried is the glowing flame at its heart.’ – London Evening Standard
‘There’s not a film this year that combines period craft, performance, and cinematography as well as Ann Lee. It’s utterly mesmerizing.’ – InSession Film
