The ultimate brilliance of Fastvold’s movie, which remains without question for all of its peaks and valleys, is that it has the courage to reimagine the essence of belonging itself; to see it not as something we find, but rather as something that we create together. -

Regardless of one’s beliefs—or lack thereof—”The Testament of Ann Lee“ is an undeniably moving and inspirational story of holding true to one’s convictions and finding strength in a like-minded community, effectively brought into the 21st century through powerful, stirring music.
Review by Mark Dujsik
It's a convincing tale of religious and moral conviction, in other words—handsomely presented, energetically staged, featuring a central performance that communicates the faith of the film's central figure in every aspect of it.
