Disturbing, as this IS possible
I first saw the movie Testament several years ago on a public television station. The movie was produced in the early nineteen eighties, when the whole country (and possibly the world) was concerned about the possibility of nuclear war. I was home alone at the time I first watched the movie and was... Read full review »
Left behind as the world slowly ends
Testament is quite possibly one of the most punishing and depressing films ever produced, at least in America (although I'll admit I've not seen them all). Even if you don't watch it, you could probably understand this observation when aware of the fact the film is a drama about nuclear holocaust... Read full review »
Testament... not the one from the Bible
When watching Testament, it's hard not to think, "Man, this kinda seems like a TV movie." The soundtrack Anne-of-Green-Gables its way through high-pitched brass and woodwinds. The cinematography is grainier than one would expect from a 1983 production. The film's low budget more than shines through... Read full review »
Testament
I was overwhelmed by the performance given by Jane Alexander she is a wonderful actor. It was a gut wrenching portrayal of a very real possibility! During that time, I was in high school and that was on the minds of a lot people. The two scenes that really impacted me were when the mother and the... Read full review »
The end is here....
This movie haunts me. It has ever since I saw it over 15 years ago.
It is the story of a small town that has the misfortune of surviving a nuclear strike. That's right I said "MISfortune". Right before the bombs hit, you get to know this everyday family and the neighborhood in which they...

Beats The Day After
Subtle, powerful, and frightening in its own way, TESTAMENT lives up to its name as a testament to the way in which nuclear disaster really affects people. Jane Alexander plays a single mom throughout the bulk of the movie - one only hears from her husband briefly at the very beginning of the film... Read full review »
Sublime, devastating ...
Originally produced for PBS's excellent American Playhouse series and featuring a presciently illustrious cast headed by Jane Alexander, with William Devane, Kevin Costner, Rebecca de Mornay, Lukas Haas, and veteran character actor, Mako, Testament is the most eloquent, most elegiac cinematic...

Testament [VHS]
There seemed to be a particular spike in nuclear-war paranoia in the early 1980s, probably having to do Reagan's finger being on the trigger. Whatever the cause, it resulted in two particularly powerful 1983 films on the subject: the made-for-TV The Day After and Lynne Littman's Testament, which had a theatrical release before playing on PBS's American Playhouse. Starring Jane Alexander (and Kevin Costner in a cameo), the film shows what happens to a suburban family in the Pacific Northwest after a nearby nuclear attack. As it turns out, those killed by the initial blast are the lucky ones; Alexander and her family must suffer through radiation poisoning and sickness, the daily diminution of life this causes, and, for Alexander, the eventual deaths of those around her. Quietly powerful and never overstated. --Marshall Fine
