Ammonite [Played June 4 as part of AARP's Movies for Grownups and available on various VOD platforms.] When well-respected, renown, hardworking, repressed, poetic British paleontologist and fossil hunter Mary Anning (Kate Winslet), who lives with her sickly, figurine-collector mother (Gemma Jones) and makes a modest living selling the fossils she painstakingly finds on the southern coast in West Dorset, England, agrees to befriend and care for the depressed, unhappy wife (Saorise Ronan) of a wealthy, geologist client (James McArdle) with the help of a doctor (Alec Sec?reanu) and a longtime friend (Fiona Shaw) while he goes on an expedition in Europe in Francis Lee's engaging, factually inspired, well-acted, risqué, 2-hour, 2020 film that takes too much poetic license with historical facts and is highlighted by amazing cinematography, both needy women find themselves in a passionate, taboo relationship in the 1840s which crashes and burns after the wife returns to London and then invites her friend for a visit.
