In 1840s England, palaeontologist Mary Anning and a young woman sent by her husband to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship. Despite the chasm between their social spheres and personalities, Mary and Charlotte discover they can each offer what the other has been searching for: the realisation that they are not alone. It is the beginning of a passionate and all-consuming love affair that will defy all social bounds and alter the course of both lives irrevocably.
Why watch it
Kate Winslet plays real-life pioneering paleontologist Mary Anning opposite Saoirse Ronan. An official Cannes 2020 selection (the festival was cancelled; it premiered at TIFF). The windswept English coast and two fiercely restrained performances are the draw β and the romance itself is imagined rather than documented, which is part of the conversation.
