HOLLYWOOD, CA — A new meta-musical chronicling the life of Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers, is drawing rave reviews for its artistic ambition but raising concerns that it might be 'too sexy' for today's easily influenced youth. The film, which reportedly features interpretive dance sequences and 'intoxicating' musical numbers, is being praised for expanding the possibilities of filmed biography, even as it risks making asceticism look appealing.

“We’re thrilled with the critical reception,” stated studio executive Brenda Pinter, carefully avoiding eye contact. “Mona Fastvold’s vision is truly groundbreaking. We just… we didn’t anticipate the sheer allure of communal celibacy when presented with such cinematic flair. It’s a fine line between historical accuracy and accidentally sparking a global abstinence movement.”

Early screenings have reportedly led to a noticeable uptick in online searches for 'celibacy benefits' and 'communal furniture plans.' One film critic, who requested anonymity, confessed, “I walked out of the theater genuinely contemplating giving up all worldly possessions and dancing until I achieved spiritual ecstasy. Then I remembered I had a Netflix queue to get through.”

The studio is now considering adding a post-credits scene featuring a character struggling to assemble flat-pack furniture, just to temper expectations.
