Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSaoirse Ronan's favourite film growing up was Titanic (1997), so she was overjoyed to not only act in a film with Kate Winslet, but to also play her lover. Ronan said to Winslet when filming: "Who would have thought, when I was eight years old, that I'd be kissing Rose one day!"
- GoofsCharlotte is portrayed as younger than Mary, with Kate Winslet being almost twenty years older than Saoirse Ronan. In reality, Charlotte was a decade older than Mary.

Featured review
Ammonite
Kate Winslet plays Mary Anning, a famous fossil hunter / palaeontologist with exhibits in the British Museum, who must now sell ammonites to tourists etc just to keep her and her mother, Gemma Jones, going. Into her life comes convalescing, well off Saoirse Ronan who stays with Winslet until she has recovered. A deepening relationship begins.
Remarkably touching, beautifully acted - especially by Winslet - and nicely lean love story set against the backdrop of a drab, miserable 19th century Lyme Regis. The 2 leads make a completely believable couple and the affection is bought forward slowly and ultimately quite explicitly. It is a quiet gentle film with no obvious romance or great outpourings of emotion or melodrama and all the better for that. I loved the ending.
