Click here for the basics

Rating: Q=6, P=4 / Average OJ
Scale 1=3, Scale 2=3, Scale 3=2, Scale 4=2

Romance, Complex Relationships, Paleontology, 1800s

This is more than a story about the fossil hunter and scientist Mary Anning--it is a story about intelligent, interesting, and lonely women during a time when women were not valued for their minds or skills. And when their dreams and desires were dismissed. It is a quietly intense romance, a view into how it feels to be trapped or to be forced to suppress your will and desire. Beautiful and poignant film.
