Ammonite [2020]
1840s England, acclaimed working class fossil hunter Mary Anning and a young socialite woman sent to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship, altering both of their lives forever. Part biographical with Anning's work now displayed in the British Museum and part seemingly a speculative take of her lesbian friendship, this is a master class of acting and film making. Worth seeing.
When I read the title “My Octopus Teacher” I envisaged a movie about a pedophile schoolteacher who couldn’t keep his hands to himself.
Maybe read it as a news headline sometime in the past.
