1840s England, acclaimed but overlooked fossil hunter Mary Anning and a young woman sent to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship, altering both of their lives forever.
"Officially released at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival (though also selected later for the unfortunately cancelled Cannes Film Festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic), this film from director Francis Lee ('God's Own Country') drew, at the time, unfavorable comparisons to 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' due to its similar themes and locations. It must be said, 'Ammonite' is a less polished period drama than its cited reference, executed with a certain distance that makes it seem very cold in spite of its theme, about an older and lonely woman (Kate Winslet, from 'Titanic'), known for her talent in finding ammonites -- which are fossilized mollusks hidden inside stones -- who gets involved with a younger bourgeois girl (Saoirse Ronan, from 'Little Women'). The production design is impeccable, and something worth noting are the protagonists Winslet and Ronan."
