Collider Interviews | The Assessment's Elizabeth Olsen, Alicia Vikander, Himesh Patel and Fleur Fortune Interview TIFF @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
When the world is on the brink of destruction due to climate change, The Assessment introduces one unorthodox method to ensure Earth doesn’t get destroyed by overpopulation. Set in a dystopian future where the government controls who can have kids, Mia (Elizabeth Olsen) and Aaryan (Himesh Patel) seem like the perfect couple-slash-candidates. She’s a botanical scientist, he’s a genetic researcher, and they have a house to call their own. But before they can start a family, they’re required to pass an assessment that determines whether they’re eligible to have a child or not.
With their assigned assessor, Virginia (Alicia Vikander), breathing down their necks, the couple has seven days to convince her that they’re worthy of bringing a baby into the world. What starts out as a simple test soon transforms into something unsettling and sinister.
Making its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2024, Collider’s own Steven Weintraub had the opportunity to talk more in-depth about The Assessment with director Fleur Fortuné and cast members Olsen, Patel, and Vikander at the Collider interview studio at TIFF 2024, held at the Cinema Center. During this interview, which you can watch in the video above or read in the transcript below, they discuss the film's twists and turns and future projects like The Franchise and Na Hong-jin's Hope.
