#Ammonite
Really moving film, that, like its titular, er fossils, right?, once you get past its sharp, weather-beaten exterior, you'll be rewarded with what you find at its central emotional core.
Sadly, the film was unfairly overlooked due to the unfair, reductive comparisons to #PortraitOfALadyOnFire, which is too bad, man, too bad indeed.
Much credit to the awesome sound design and the bone-chilling cinematography (it is the English seaside, after all🥶). Credit, of course, to the supporting cast too: Jones, Shaw, Secareanu, McArdle.
But, wow, Ronan & Winslet, perfectly at odds, perfectly matched, perfectly wonderful. Give Winslet so much credit, turning in one fiercely, committed performance after another, and, sadly, without any of the #Oscar scenery-chewing that gets one #Oscars nods. Too bad, man, just too bad…
PS. What a great, great ending!
