Magnolia Pictures and Magnet Releasing have dropped the trailer for their dystopian drama The Assessment.
Directed by Fleur Fortuné, the film tells the near-future story of a couple, played by Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel, who must be evaluated by Alicia Vikander’s assessor to see if they are fit to have a child in a society in which procreation is controlled. Also starring Charlotte Ritchie and Minnie Driver, you can watch the trailer below…
“In a not-so-distant future, where resources are scarce and tightly controlled, even the dream of having a child is not a given. Mia (Elizabeth Olsen) and Aaryan (Himesh Patel) are one of the few couples allowed to take a mysterious assessment for the right to have a child, having successfully navigated a brutal selection process. Desperate to prove themselves eligible, they face their evaluator, Virginia (Alicia Vikander) —cold, unpredictable, and impossible to read. Subjected to seven grueling days of challenges, Mia and Aaryan are pushed to the brink. The trials unravel into a psychological nightmare, forcing them to face their deepest insecurities, shaking the foundations of their relationship and what being parents really means to them.”
The Assessment is in theatres from March 21.
