The Testament of Ann Lee
Based on a true legend, The Testament of Ann Lee depicts the story of the founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker’s revered, irrepressible leader who preaches gender and social equality. With reimagined Shaker hymns, the film captures Lee’s ecstasy and agony in her quest to build a utopia.
Reviewer Anthony Francis writes: Was she a prophet? Of course not, but many saw her as such. Certain writings paint her as a pawn in the battles of the different religious sects of the time. Others see her as a woman of faith who only wanted to live a clean life, serve God, and ascend to Heaven to be reunited with her children. Ann Lee’s legacy is colored with a great deal of truth, some fallacy, and an aura of ritualistic faith. The same is true of the film.
Mona Fastvold has created a deeply felt meditation on religious freedom, based on historical record and legend. Whether one is religious or exists within the secular world, “The Testament of Ann Lee” is an intoxicating motion picture and a deeply cinematic “happening” that will linger in your memory.
