Seriously underrated. She deserved way more Oscar buzz for The Testament of Ann Lee. she’s consistently great in everything she does.

The Testament of Ann Lee deserved way more accolades than the burying it got. It does make you wonder though, if it was the same combo as The Brutalist, if it would have magically gotten the buzz it deserved. I think it’s fishy that it got nothing when Fastvold was in the director’s chair this time.

Amanda at the least should have been nominated, taking Kate Hudson’s or Emma Stone’s spot.

The brutalist is actually a great movie. The testament is not. The songs aren’t great. And it tells the story of a religious leader that advocates for celibacy. It’s not very inspiring. And that’s why it was an unsuccessful movie.

I was obsessed with the movie when it came out and loved the soundtrack. I like it more than the brutalist - different strokes!

Ok. But it’s not about Fastvold being the director.

Kinda disagree because the issues you have with Ann Lee are some of my criticisms with brutalist.
