2025 (United Kingdom, USA)
Directed by: Mona Fastvold
Academy Award® nominee Amanda Seyfried delivers a spell-binding performance in this musical historical drama from writer-director Mona Fastvold and co-writer Brady Corbet (Academy Award nominees, THE BRUTALIST). Ann Lee (Seyfried) is the dynamic and devout leader of the Shakers, an 18th century radical religious movement known for its loud and uninhibited singing and shaking during prayer. As Ann leads the Shakers from the oppression of England to the religious freedom of the Americas, she seeks the salvation of those around her alongside her own spiritual ecstasy. Through enthralling dance sequences and a career-best performance from Seyfried, THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE brilliantly and inventively evokes the passion of one woman with a conviction to better the world around her.
