The Testament of Ann Lee

“Shakers, child loss, celibacy, craftmanship AND a musical? Even though it felt like the movie didn't make a very specific statement, it stayed with me and kind of made me want to join a commune”

“Mother for real”

“It’s painterly, beautiful, ecstatic, and it works as a musical because that’s what it demands. It’s not a gimmick.”

“An incredible performance by Amanda Seyfried with a cherry on top of shaker furniture at the end.”
