The Testament of Ann Lee

From writer and director Mona Fastvold (co-writer, producer of The Brutalist), The Testament of Ann Lee is a speculative retelling of the extraordinary story of the founder of the radical religious sect known as the Shakers. 

Starring Amanda Seyfried in an unforgettable turn as Ann Lee, Seyfried throws herself into this performance in a way that is truly astounding. Through her eyes, we see Ann Lee experience the traumas that shaped her, and the uncompromising convictions that made her one of the most enigmatic and significant religious figures in pre-revolutionary America. Featuring rapturous, hypnotic original choreography from Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and music by Academy Award-winning composer Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist), The Testament of Ann Lee is a bold historical epic unlike anything you’ve seen before.
