The Testament of Anne Lee (AT LAST!!!!)

Apologies for distance and timing on this, Truly one of the bigger movies of the year with late and limited release. Good news, AMC does have comfy seats and excellent sound/screens at least.

This will be a divisive movie, I am in the fan camp, but "Fearlessly feral" is not a bad tag. Very much in the batshit crazy Brady Corbet/Mona Fastvold vein. You may love it or you may hate it, but I am pretty sure it is not a movie you have seen before, which is saying something with this crowd! Posting this fair assessment...
Speaking at the press conference following the Venice world premiere of Mona Fastvold’s The Testament of Ann Lee, co-writer and second-unit director Brady Corbet, Fastvold’s husband, illuminated the couple’s fruitful creative partnership, which also yielded their co-screenwriting duties on 2024’s The Brutalist. “We firmly believe,” he said, pointing to Fastvold’s ownership of and final cut on the film, “that you can only serve one master at a time.” To say nothing of the film’s numerous aesthetic and thematic echoes of Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, not to mention those of their previous project, Corbet’s comment is an interesting critical pathway into an often impenetrably busy, ambitious work that, when one breaks it down, is about both a marriage in tension and a husband working in service–far more glumly than the gregarious Corbet–to his spouse’s singular vision of the world. Pricklier than the more awards-friendly The Brutalist, though vulnerable to the same structural imbalances and ambiguity, The Testament of Ann Lee is a pleasantly odd text: a rich, overstuffed period musical that makes a grand figure of its impossibly marginal fringe subject.
