‘The Testament of Ann Lee’ Review: Almost a Religious Big-Screen Experience

This film offers a remarkably immersive and powerful theatrical experience, tracing the journey of the Shakers from England to America. What’s impressive is it portrays their religious beliefs with respect and avoids being critical or dismissive – a difficult balance to achieve. Ann Lee, the central figure, believed she was the Second Coming of Christ and was deeply revered by her followers; her words were almost considered sacred. Amanda Seyfried delivers a compelling performance, making Ann Lee’s convictions believable, especially considering the immense hardships she faced earlier in life, which seemed to naturally lead her towards faith. While the film keeps a slight emotional distance, preventing us from fully knowing Ann Lee as a person rather than a religious icon, that’s the most criticism one can offer of this bold and remarkably original film, likely to be a standout of 2025.

7 Fantasy Movies That Aged Incredibly Well

Some fantasy movies age remarkably well. They achieve this by focusing on classic filmmaking techniques – things like real-world sets, physical props, and compelling characters – instead of relying too much on the latest visual effects. By building sets you can actually touch, rather than creating everything digitally, these filmmakers give their worlds a depth and authenticity that can be hard to achieve with computer-generated imagery.
