Magnolia Pictures has set a streaming release date for their sci-fi thriller THE ASSESSMENT, which will arrive on VOD and digital platforms on April 8th, 2025. The film world premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, and launched in US theaters on March 21st, 2025.

The Assessment is written by Dave Thomas, Nell Garfath-Cox and John Donnelly and directed by Fleur Fortuné in her feature length debut. It stars Elizabeth Olsen, Alicia Vikander, Himesh Patel, Charlotte Ritchie, and Minnie Driver.

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 a mysterious assessment for the right to have a child, 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 of challenges, Mia and Aaryan are pushed to the brink. The trials unravel into a psychological nightmare, forcing them to face their deepest insecurities, shaking the foundations of their relationship and what being parents really means to them.

We’ve added the release date to our streaming calendar. Check out the film’s official US trailer below.
