Ammonite - Arvostelut

...one of the best performances of Kate Winslet’s career.

It is a love story that is also a fascinating artefact: quixotic, romantic, erotic.

...a movie nearly as steeped in the wonders of natural world as it is in the emotional lives of its uncommon characters.

It’s Winslet, however, who defines the film, delivering the performance that you’ve wanted from her for years.

Kate Winslet is superbly flinty...

Det er skønt, at ’Ammonite’ viser eksplicit kærlighed...

Har man sett ”Ammonite” kommer man aldrig mer att se på samma sätt på ett fossil i en glasmonter på ett museum.

Lee’s approach to the material is grimly beautiful at times.

...a beautifully shot, visceral piece of filmmaking by Francis Lee,...

It’s an ambitious, sometimes too bitter, second feature, but Lee somewhat manages to corrode the too-often fetishized queer period drama into something much more modern than its setting suggests.

...stark, deliberate and well-spun period piece...

...a tale of women struggling to find themselves – and love – in a man’s world.

...en hyllning till det liv som uppstår i mötet mellan två personer som ser varandra precis som de är – kännande, längtande och ytterst levande.

...ett spännande drama, och inte minst ett gediget hantverk, på alla nivåer: det dynamiska ljudarbetet, panoramorna – ja, hela produktionsdesignen doftar tjära och hårt arbete.

...Saoirse Ronan brillerer som den på en gang hysteriske og gæve Charlotte. Hun er let at forelske sig i.
