ABOUT THE FILM

The extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers.
This epic film charts Lee’s impoverished childhood in Manchester to pre-revolutionary America, where her Shaker religion took root. Seyfried stuns alongside an impressive ensemble who shine in this richly textured world.
— Watershed Summary & BFI Introduction

"Mona Fastvold’s incredible quasi-musical about the Shaker prophet"
★★★★★ David Ehrlich, IndieWire

"I was left wobbly and breathless by its grandeur and nerve."
★★★★ Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

"The Testament of Ann Lee is unimaginable with any other actress—but then again, it’s unimaginable, period, a movie that takes big chances in a culture that, most days, seems allergic to them."
★★★★ Stephanie Zacharek, Time

"When an artist takes a swing this colossal and stays true to their vision in every way, the resulting work deserves respect, and is always worth seeing."
★★★★★ Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times
