Kate Winslet's potato peeling skills would have starved her back then.

A quiet, meditative film that lulls you into its rhythm. A nice mix of history (Mary Anning was real) and fiction (we know nothing of her love life). Not for everyone and nothing unmissable but I really enjoyed it and could see myself viewing it again one day if in the right mood.

I LVOR THEM SO MUCH the cinematography was amazing and I love both Kate and saoirse so much this is sooooo sososososos underrated

A familiar story of repressed passion although there is far more than furtive glances and secret touching in this surprisingly explicit film. The sex isn’t the selling point of course, although it is sometimes jarring in this otherwise sensitively handled love story.

ASMR for Victoriania loving lesbian aficionados. So much more could have been presented to round out the beach-combing fossil hunter. Laborious at times, and over does the tonal sweeps of the camera over insectivora or crustaceans of various kinds . Lost the historical figure amidst the nods to Tipping the Velvet. Acting top-notch. More a watch than a listen, except for the well exercised foley artist.
