In The Testament of Ann Lee, Amanda Seyfried portrays the uncompromising Shaker leader Ann Lee, who preached social justice and complete equality between women and men, and who was deeply admired and revered by her followers. The film explores both the ecstasy and the suffering embedded in her vision of creating an ideal society, and features several traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as intense, expressive movements. Unfolding as a visceral exploration of faith and devotion, the film makes it hard not to be struck by its impressive production design. Amanda Seyfried delivers a remarkable performance as Ann in this wondrous musical, written by Mona Fastvold and Brady Corbet (The Brutalist).
