In his profoundly affecting 2017 feature debut God's Own Country, Francis Lee crafted a queer love story for the ages, carved out of rigorous emotional candor, uninhibited sexuality and an evocative connection between the two men at its center and the land that draws them together.

Three years later, the British writer-director returns with Ammonite, an exquisite female companion piece whose transfixing quietness never conceals the roiling undercurrents of feeling beneath its surface.

This is the work of a mature filmmaker in full command of his voice, yielding remarkable performances, chief among them a complex character study of stoicism and desire from Kate Winslet that might be the best work of her career.

‘Ammonite’ Film Review: Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan Romance Burns With Quiet Passion

Francis Lee’s “Ammonite” might be the biggest study in contrasts that you’ll find at the Toronto International Film Festival this year. The story of a passionate, almost desperate romance between two women in 19th century Britain, it sets that passion in an austere, minimalist frame; it’s either the most reserved passionate movie you’ll ever see, or the most passionate reserved one.The upcoming Neon release is also a beautiful, deeply-felt character study of the women marvelously played by Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan.
