The extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers.
The few full-blown examples of 18th century everyday people losing themselves to the holy-roller beat carries this film even more than the meticulous historical recreations. It’s a period film with 6/8 pulse.
★★★★
The frenzied, lustful energy of the film’s first half makes it one of the most thrilling cinematic experiences of the year.
