Ammonite (15)

Director Francis Lee. Biography, Drama, Romance


Francis Lee's (God's Own Country) fictional account of the life of 19th century palaeontologist Mary Anning packs emotional force. Kate Winslet plays pioneering scientist Anning, with Saoirse Ronan as the married woman on a rest cure who becomes her companion. Set in the seaside town of Lyme Regis, it shows up how women have traditionally been erased from history of science but above all, it is a love story of extraordinary intimacy.

Starring Kate Winslet, Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Jones, James McArdlel


Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

A quiet, well considered tale.

Good Movie. Beautiful locations & acting, possibly a bit slow at times.

An excellent film with superb acting from both the leads. Some felt that the sex scenes were too explicit and should have been less overt.
