Review of Ammonite

Ammonite (2020)
9/10
Beautiful quiet movie
24 February 2021
My only complaint about this movie is that Francis Lee assumes there was a lesbian relationship between these two friends without any evidence. I don't care if they were lesbians or not, I just don't like people making assumptions. As it is, the movie is beautifully done and in appearance. I didn't think it was possible to make Kate Winslet look plain, but she pulls it off for this character. Saoirse Ronan is sparkling, but frail, to indicate her character. Watching these two play off of each other is the best part of the movie. If you like good acting between characters that click and a movie that moves a little slower because that's what the characters need, this is the movie for you.
