The Assessment (2024)

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 the test, 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, Mia and Aaryan are pushed to the brink. THe trials unravel into a psychological nightmare, forcing Virginia's trials dig far deeper than just the physical, pushing Mia and Aaryan to face their deepest insecurities, shaking the foundations of their relationship, and what being parents really means to them.
