Ammonite
A tender, mesmerising period romance inspired by the life of pioneering 19th-century palaeontologist Mary Anning.
On the rugged Dorset coast, pioneering 19th-century palaeontologist Mary Anning (Kate Winslet) leads a quiet, solitary life until the arrival of Charlotte Murchison (Saoirse Ronan), a young woman sent to convalesce by the sea. As the two women form an unexpected and deep connection, Ammonite becomes a story of passion, repression, and longing. Directed by Francis Lee (God’s Own Country), this evocative drama is a beautifully crafted and emotionally rich exploration of love and resilience in a time of rigid societal constraints.
