The Testament of Ann Lee

Mona Fastvold’s sublime film on revolutionary preacher Ann Lee is grounded by a metamorphic performance from Amanda Seyfried.

This epic, of grand scale and creative force, 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. Oscar winner Daniel Blumberg’s music, seamlessly navigates Lee’s story, which Fastvold (co-writer of The Brutalist) infuses with fervour and grace, bringing this incredible historical figure back into public view.

Please note: some screenings include Hard of Hearing (HoH) subtitles.
