Published on January 4th, 2021

Thanks to our friends at Transmission Films we have ten in-season double passes to give away to Ammonite – starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan, which releases in cinemas on January 14.

Here’s a brief synopsis:

Led by powerful performances by Winslet (The Dressmaker, Titanic) and Ronan (Lady Bird, Brooklyn), Ammonite is set in1840s England. Acclaimed but overlooked fossil hunter Mary Anning and a young woman sent to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship, altering both of their lives forever.

With the days of her famed discoveries behind her, Anning now searches for common fossils to sell to tourists to support herself and her ailing mother. When a wealthy visitor entrusts Mary with the care of his wife Charlotte Murchison (Ronan), she cannot afford to turn his offer down. Proud and relentlessly passionate about her work, Mary initially clashes with her unwelcome guest, but despite the distance between their social class and personalities, an intense bond begins to develop, compelling the two women to determine the true nature of their relationship.

Directed and written by BAFTA nominee filmmaker Francis Lee, Ammonite is a follow up to Lee’s astounding debut, God’s Own Country.
