What Ammonite Is About
In nineteenth century England a woman who makes her living collecting fossils on the shore is left to care for a young, unwell woman placed in her charge. The film moves with barely any speech; the narrative draws its intimacy out of physical work, breaking stone, mud, cold. Mary Anning's exclusion from the scientific establishment runs visibly underneath. Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan lead. It is Francis Lee's second film, shot at Lyme Regis. Worth knowing: Anning was a real person and the relationship here is invented, a choice criticised by her descendants and by some historians. The film offers it as an interpretation, not as evidence.
