    Polêmico, uma vez que não há registros (tampouco indícios) de que Mary e Charlotte eram bi ou tiveram um caso e também há divergência entre os parentes, entretanto a parte histórica é poderosa e necessária, numa época em que mulheres eram relegadas ao lar, conhecermos a fundo a história de 3 paleontólogas, pois Elizabeth também era, e descobriam, desenham e estudavam anatomia dos fosseis, apesar de pouco dito no filme, que se aprofunda somente no romance, poderiam ter feito bem MAIS...

    I enjoyed to see Winslet as such a strong, and serious woman, after "The Dressmaker". And also Ronan, like that after "The Grand Budapest Hotel". All of these films I find extremely interesting. Despite the pain...

    I really enjoyed this one; Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan are both tremendous actresses and I can't say anything about it. The film was filled with intense but quiet scenes, they mostly talk with their eyes which is not bad at all here compared to other movies. Overall it is quite enjoyable but in my honest opinion it could’ve been even better; what was truly lacking was background information on why they (especially Kate’s character) behaved the way they did. I was left with constant questions throughout the story and I would've preferred more clarity on certain aspects. Production is great and I would recommend this one.

    Kate Winslet in particular give exceptional performances, the film's slower pace may not appeal to everyone, but overall, it's a beautifully made film that leaves a strong impression.

    Very good film, quite close to the true story Although Mary wasn’t married or either didn’t have a relationship with her friend.

    Good acting but scant dialogue and plot. The romance between the characters of Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan is not believable and they say few words to each other during the film. They do a fine job with what they are written but that isn't saying much. The movie spends most of its time building atmosphere and focuses on ambient noise rather than character interactions. The cinematography is solid but not compelling. Overall, there is little to recommend this film but it will pass the time.

    Ammonite in terms of geology means a rock having drilled sutler lines For these two ladies so many lines are drawn and eventually crossed when they meet Kate Winslet and Saiorse Ronan in the 1700s play Charlotte and Mary Mary is a paleontologist living with her sick elderly mother in a shop specializing in collecting rock samples with fossils in them. Yet she never had gotten recognition for her findings. And considering most of her family has died it's just her alone with her work. Charlotte suffered a miscarriage a while back and her husband wants her to get out of her grief and start living again. Charlottes husband drops her off, she feels sick but thanks to Mary starts feeling better. From then on both of these women develop an unusual attraction towards one another. Charlotte doesn't want to go back to the life before meeting Mary but Mary is comfortable where she is. Plus what would happen if people found out about them considering when this takes place. Acting is great from both women, it's moody and relies a lot of visual storytelling. Barely any music throughout which I guess makes the realism stick out. It's delicate and beautiful with the emotions and complexities of forbidden passion. Not for all but worth it just for the ripe chemistry of its actresses.

    Acting is wonderful. Especially Kate Winslet. Unfortunately script remains weak for such great cast.

    Sublimely acted and mutedly passional, Francis Lee's imagination of an amorous affair of palaeontology pioneer Mary Anning and geologist Charlotte Murchison is hardly a biopic but a fiery portrayal of two women unbosoming desires of their hearts in each other like the fossil they unearth.
