Ammonite (2020)
Incredibly moving.
Francis Lee has made another work of art. I think a lot of reviewers don't understand that this was a time when you could be executed for being gay. Lee laid this out beautifully by understanding the position gay women were in during this time period. You had to be damn sure before you made a romantic move with the same sex, or it could mean ruin or worse.
Lee captured what it's like with the eye contact and the touches that last a few seconds longer than they should. The actresses brilliantly portrayed the longing desire and the pain of not knowing if the other felt the same. There needed to be build up or it would not of been authentic and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I was absolutely floored by this film. Kate Winslet is outstanding and is at her very best while Ronan held her own and their chemistry was through the roof.
Curious Life and Death of .. (2020)
Interesting and unique show.
I'm hoping there is another season. The topics and the educational value is top notch. This show would go over much better if the smithsonian channel spent some money and upgraded the graphics and the set. Lindsey Fitzharris is a breath of fresh air and is extremely interesting and is a great storyteller.
