The Testament of Ann Lee

Powered by a transformative, Golden Globe-nominated performance from Amanda Seyfried (The Housemaid, Mamma Mia), award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold’s (The World to Come, The Brutalist) exhilarating epic tells the story of radical preacher Ann Lee, founder of the Shaker movement. 

In 18th-century England and America, visionary leader Ann Lee (Seyfried) rises from obscurity. Haunted by tragedy but driven by her beliefs in gender and social equality and ecstatic devotion, she gathers followers who come to see her as the female embodiment of Christ. The Testament of Ann Lee captures all the agony and ecstasy of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs and score by Oscar-winning composer Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
