For a bonus review this weekend, we discuss a staff choice selection of The Assessment, where in the near future where parenthood is strictly controlled, a couple's seven-day assessment for the right to have a child unravels into a psychological nightmare. The film is Fleur Fortune’s directorial debut and stars Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Olsen, and Himesh Patel.
