Amanda Seyfried’s Version of ‘Hunger & Thirst’ Will Quench Your Soul

Amanda Seyfried has long been known as a talented actress, but her upcoming role in The Testament of Ann Lee marks a new step – portraying a literal mother on screen. The film centers around Seyfried’s captivating performance as Ann Lee, a character who sings and dances throughout the story. In one particularly moving scene, Seyfried performs “Hunger & Thirst,” a traditional Shaker song, beautifully arranged by composer Daniel Blumberg. Her clear voice and deliberate movements, choreographed by Celia Rowlson-Hall, create a meditative and powerful moment where Ann finds solace through music. This performance builds on Seyfried’s previous acclaimed roles in films like Les Misérables and the Mamma Mia! movies.

Blumberg’s music for The Brutalist was harsh and mechanical, featuring clanging sounds over a grand orchestral base. For this project, he’s chosen a gentler style, relying on classic instruments and lush strings. But the true star is Seyfried, who breathes fresh life into everything she sings – whether it’s a modern pop song, a Joni Mitchell classic, or a piece from centuries ago.
