The AssessMENT - Feature FILM

Inspired by films like Ex Machina, The Lobster and Soylent Green, The Assessment is an absurdly dark look at overpopulation and what that will mean for the future.
The Assessment is directed by Fleur Fortuné, produced by Number 9 Films, Stephen Woolley & Elizabeth Karlsen and stars Elizabeth Olsen, Alicia Vikander and Himesh Patel - it premiered at TIFF & BFI London Film Festival.
Releasing through Magnolia Pictures in the US 21st March and Capelight Pictures in Germany 3rd April. Amazon MGM rest of the world spring 2025.
"elegant, amusing, discomfiting and just the right side of preposterous." Peter Bradshaw - The Guardian ****
