Defrosting Ice Queen: Mary is quite the grump until Charlotte comes into her life (and stays there for a while - it's almost an hour into the runtime of the movie that Charlotte first coaxes a smile out of her).

 Ammonite / int_2b374ed1
comment
It's Not You, It's Me: Mary's ex-girlfriend Elizabeth all but says this in their scene together following the death of Mary's mother. Mary herself gives this excuse when Charlotte gifts Mary a spare bedroom in her London townhouse, offering to let Mary be her live-in girlfriend. Mary is too tied to her beach-side fossil hunting to take the offer seriously.

Tomboy and Girly Girl
 Ammonite / int_2d364c81
comment
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Mary is the more masculine girl, a somewhat tomboyish fossil hunter, while Charlotte is the more feminine girl, who wears fancier dresses and is more kempt. Downplayed in that Mary still wears dresses, albeit ones that aren't as fancy as Charlotte's.

Age-Gap Romance

comment
Age-Gap Romance: Mary appears to be significantly older than Charlotte (Winslet was forty-five at the time Ammonite was filmed, while Ronan was twenty-six). Mary is also revealed to have had an ill-fated previous relationship with Elizabeth Philpot, who is twenty years her senior.

 Ammonite / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Mary and Charlotte's romance. In reality, there's no evidence Mary and Charlotte were anything but close friends. Further, Mary is portrayed as much older than Charlotte (to match the actress's ages). Charlotte was actually a decade older than Mary.

The Modest Orgasm
 Ammonite / int_92370007
comment
The Modest Orgasm: Happens to both Mary and Charlotte when they consummate their romance. Charlotte first performs cunnilingus on Mary, who places her right hand over her mouth to muffle her vocalizations; then Mary returns the favor and Charlotte manages to keep herself almost silent, which is lucky for them because she's pressed up against the wall of their room when she climaxes.

comment
Outliving One's Offspring: Mary is the only one of her mother's nine children to have survived childhood. It's heavily implied in dialogue that Charlotte had a baby who died as an infant, which is why she starts the film as a Sleepy Depressive.

Oscar Bait: It's a Period Piece Queer Romance starring two of the most critically acclaimed actresses of the 21st century. Rest assured, critics still liked it (specifically the performances and chemistry of the two leads) but few would call it one of the best movies of the year.

Significant Wardrobe Shift
 Ammonite / int_affc0c98
comment
Significant Wardrobe Shift: Charlotte starts the film in black mourning dress, before shifting to whites, tans, and greens after falling in love with Mary. Her very last scene has her wearing a black shawl and bonnet over her cream-white dress, after Mary walked away from being her live-in girlfriend. Mary herself spends most of the time either in worn-out old tomboyish clothes for fossil-hunting, or a light blue plaid dress when at home or in her shop. she wears a dark blue, almost-black, mourning dress when her mother dies, and wears a dark red dress when she goes to London.

Historical Relationship Overhaul

comment
Historical Relationship Overhaul: This film depicts 19th century paleontologist Mary Anning and geologist Charlotte Murchison as being in a lesbian relationship; while Anning was unmarried throughout her life Murchison was married to fellow geologist Roderick Impey Murchison. In addition, the film makes Anning older than Murchison though the reverse was true in real life.
