Ammonite is a must see...Fabulous cast playing complex characters in a time when woman could not necessarily say or do exactly what they may have wanted to in fact do. However, in this rare case these two characters take on an unusual affair when both woman need comfort in the most profound way at their darkest hours of desperation and despair. In my opinion, Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan both give Oscar nod performances and should be up for Lead female oscars awards as well as nods for cinematography, and direction from writer/director, Frances Lee. A well rounded gem of a story based on real life characters with a superb cast and crew.
