Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSaoirse Ronan's favourite film growing up was Titanic (1997), so she was overjoyed to not only act in a film with Kate Winslet, but to also play her lover. Ronan said to Winslet when filming: "Who would have thought, when I was eight years old, that I'd be kissing Rose one day!"
- GoofsCharlotte is portrayed as younger than Mary, with Kate Winslet being almost twenty years older than Saoirse Ronan. In reality, Charlotte was a decade older than Mary.

Featured review
Quietly beautiful
The first word that comes to mind when reviewing Ammonite is implicit. The only other review (at the time of writing) laments the lack of explicit sex scenes. There's no need for them; this is an understated love story, not a porn film. The sex scenes are few in number, but shot with delicacy and restraint. In fact, very little of this movie is explicit. An awful lot is left to the imagination of the viewer. Back stories are hinted at, touched briefly upon and only once filled in. Even the ending is left to us to imagine. Implicit, rather than explicit, is the watchword for this movie. The performances of the four female leads are in the same vein. Subtly acted throughout; never overdone. A really beautiful movie.
