Ammonite Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's just a lot of smoke, which makes it even harder to see through the film's hazy lens.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It captures the essence of a forbidden attraction at a time when same-sex love was stifled and considered deviant.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
At times... the strong performances by Winslet and Ronan seem to be all that separate this movie from a soft-core bodice-ripper.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
The overly orchestrated sex scenes often feel more intrusive than intimate.
Bitch Media
Alison Lanier
Movies about repressed or secret queer romance seem to use queer relationships as an emblem of deep self-truth and rebellion against the confines of a patriarchal society. And for a good portion of its runtime, Ammonite takes that spirit and runs with it.
4Columns
Melissa Anderson
A tale of corsets and cunnilingus, this sapphic drama illustrates the problems that arise when the message becomes the medium...its outrage over injustice is as blunt as its sex scenes, which have the estranging effect of being both explicit and opaque.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Winslet and Ronan well capture the magnetic draw between two people who recognize in each other a trapped spirit, and who are determined to help shake the other free.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
[Ammonite] is many things, all of them remarkable: a queer romance that finds passion in austerity; a biopic that strips away most details of Anning's career while honoring its spirit; and a portrait of genius thwarted by gender.
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
Like Mary and the sea rocks she tends, Ammonite's hard exterior eventually gives way to something beautiful.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan are very good in a fairly good, slightly stiff second feature by writer-director Francis Lee.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Angie Han
This is less a story about love than it is about loneliness... Kate Winslet is great as Mary Anning, wearing that isolation like a coat shielding her from the elements.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan make a fascinating couple in the well-spun period piece.
Austin Chronicle
Jenny Nulf
There is a refreshing change with Ammonite, though. Whereas most period-set queer dramas are steered by hot-blooded "forbidden romance" tropes, Lee normalizes Mary and Charlotte's relationship.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
It's frankly hard to describe Ammonite without making the movie sound as derivative as it is. The performances, however, elevate the material, as Winslet and Ronan each convey grappling with different kinds of trauma without speaking about what ails them.
Observer
Rex Reed
Ammonite has moments of delicacy and beauty, but it's not a movie for everybody.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
A film like this should give life to its characters and reveal essential truths beyond the book-report versions of their existence. But "Ammonite" keeps you at a distance on a rather vacant, but beautiful, journey.
ABC News
Peter Travers
Yes, it's about paleontology, but hold the yawns. Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan hit new acting peaks in Francis Lee's deliberately-paced portrait of two ladies on fire in Victorian England.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
It's a plain and inarguable fact that we all deserve a movie in which Winslet and Ronan, specialists in complex women, play unlikely lovers whose bonnets are just itching to get ripped off. A reasonable person wouldn't complain.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Their passion never catches fire, but... the award-winning duo tries hard.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
"Ammonite" is only the director Francis Lee's second feature, yet already he's developing a strong visual signature, at once eloquent and elemental.
