Having a stranger move into your home for a full week to quite literally watch your every move and determine if you’d be a suitable parent may be uncomfortable, but for Elizabeth Olsen and Alicia Vikander, that discomfort made “The Assessment” all the more enjoyable.
Now in theaters, the film — which marks the feature debut for director Fleur Fortuné — centers on Mia (Olsen) and Aaryan (Himesh Patel), a couple hoping to become parents. The thing is, in this future dystopia, it is illegal to conceive a baby naturally.
