In 1840s England, palaeontologist Mary Anning and a young woman sent by her husband to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship. Despite the chasm between their social spheres and personalities, Mary and Charlotte discover they can each offer what the other has been searching for: the realisation that they are not alone. It is the beginning of a passionate and all-consuming love affair that will defy all social bounds and alter the course of both lives irrevocably.

Fossils and Kate Winslet, what else could you ask for?

Not since 1993 has paleontology been this sexy. Saoirse Ronan and Kate Winslet’s chemistry in this film speaks louder than words.

The performances are amazing. A great story on its own, but with a good exploration of patriarchal violence, love, and female union.

A lesser retelling of portrait of a lady on fire but good performances that keep it entertaining till the end!

Slow, quiet, beautiful story. Great acting

While it may not have the sophistication of “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” it is still a dynamic romantic character study in it’s own right.

I can’t believe I haven’t heard more about this film! It’s incredible I very much enjoyed it

It's a bit slow, and lacked chemistry I wish it had had. This film is more of a statement than a love story. However, it's worth the watch.

Great chemistry between Kate and Saoirse. Was really invested in their relationship.

Great pictures. Nice story, but somehow I was not in love with it.
