The Assessment | Rotten Tomatoes
- ️Fri Mar 21 2025
A stimulating sci-fi that invests its high concept into ideas rather than special effects, The Assessment puts a trio of superb performances under a microscope and invites the audience to join in the scrutiny.
Alejandro F “Unique—cinematography here is pure art. The film transports you to another world with creative flair. Elizabeth shines in her raw portrayal of the struggle for humanness, while Alicia captivates with unexpected, toe-tapping performances. The choreography is both delicate and beautiful, especially evident in Alicia’s ballet-inspired stunts. Overall, the film offers a distinctive exploration of the journey into parenthood and the challenges that come with it.” Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Laura L Very, very well acted and produced. Heavy story, but very engaging & thought-provoking. Husband and I saw it last night and were not disappointed with the quality of the story and level of acting. Very well done. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review aq Elizabeth Olsen and Alicia Vikander deliver phenomenal performances. This was a great dystopian sci-fi thriller, and had me constantly guessing what was coming next. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Dedric To some extent I like the idea of having to qualify to procreate, as long as it isnt based on wealth but on humility, empathy, vulnerability, kindness, and compassion. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Roman Wow, that made me deeply uncomfortable in a fun way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Roy J At one point, Olsen's character asks another character if they know what they even are doing anymore. I asked the same question to the director. Starts off with an interesting premise and explores this futuristic society in a compelling dinner scene. But, rest of the movie is unfocused and hollow. Good acting, but very poor script. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis THE ASSESSMENT follows Mia (Elizabeth Olsen) and Aaryan (Himesh Patel), a successful couple who hope to become parents in a near future where resources are extremely limited and the government keeps firm control over reproduction. They are assigned an assessor named Virginia (Alicia Vikander), who moves into their home for seven days to evaluate whether they deserve to move forward in their parenting journey. What Mia and Aaryan are hoping is a routine test quickly unravels into a psychological nightmare, forcing them to question the very foundations of their society and what it truly means to be human.
