You can stream The Congregation (2021) on Viaplay Amazon Channel with a subscription.

Anna, a young and naive woman, moves to Knutby to become part of the free church congregation as a nanny, which to her seems like a warm and pious community. But soon the idyll that never existed crackles, and manipulation, power games, social exclusion, group pressure, brainwashing, fanaticism and both more and less religiously sanctioned left-wing chatter end in murder and grief.

A chilling sense of dread settles over the quiet Swedish village as the warmth of a pious community curdles into something far more sinister. Watch the veneer of holiness strip away to reveal the jagged edges of cultish manipulation and psychological warfare.
