Amanda Seyfried's Career-Best Performance in 2025's Most Underrated Movie Sets Digital Release Date

One of the most beautiful films of 2025 is now heading to digital on March 10! Mona Fastvold's The Testament of Ann Lee is going to be available for audiences to watch. Amanda Seyfried stars as Ann Lee, the religious leader of the Shakers during their time in America. The Shakers were a religious group that believed that they could create Heaven on Earth within their communities, but their strict beliefs in celibacy led to a short-lived community. Fastvold's film, which she also co-wrote with her partner and Academy Award winner, Brady Corbet, is a beautiful musical moment and one fans should be excited to see!

The film is set to release on digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home on March 10, and it is a perfect time to watch it and also be shocked that the film was snubbed at this year's Academy Awards. And the inspiration behind the film is fascinating. It began with Fastvold finding a Shaker hymn, and eventually she found the story of Ann Lee, whom she describes as a "wild feminist religious leader in late 1700s America.” Fastvold also thinks that Lee was overlooked by history and decided to tell her story. “For me, being an artist is always about striving to create the impossible – that’s what drew me to Ann Lee. This film is offered as a tribute to her dream – and the silence that now surrounds it."

The release includes a bonus feature for the film titled "The Testament of Ann Lee: A Special Look." The bonus feature is described as follows: "Join filmmakers and cast members — including director/co-writer Mona Fastvold and actor Amanda Seyfried — for a behind-the-scenes look at making this original film about compassion, empathy, community and one woman’s charismatic leadership in founding the Shaker movement. Learn details about the research, set design, cinematography, choreography, music and costume design that create the film’s spellbinding and extraordinary look and feel."

A Perfect Movie For Fans of Amanda Seyfried's Singing

The Testament of Ann Lee uses music to tell the story of Ann Lee's pain and her journey through motherhood, losing her children, and eventually finding herself as the leader of the Shakers. And the songs are incredibly moving (and catchy). Not as catchy as the songs she sang in both of the Mamma Mia films but still incredibly poignant and moving for The Testament of Ann Lee as a piece. Plus, you get to hear Lewis Pullman and Chris Abbott with her! How amazing is that?

You can watch The Testament of Ann Lee on digital yourself on March 10.
