“One of the most consistently ecstatic movies I’ve ever seen… [Amanda Seyfried] gives the best performance of her career.” – IndieWire

This is the remarkable true legend of Ann Lee, the founder of the devotional Christian sect known as the Shakers in the mid-18th century. Mother Ann Lee preached gender and social equality, ecstatic song and dance to surrender the physical body to the Holy Spirit, spiritual purity through celibacy, and she believed in a non-binary representation of God. After amassing quite a devoted following, Lee led her fellow Shakers to emigrate from England to New York in their quest to build a utopian society.
