AMMONITE Q&A | TIFF 2020

[@studiojibbly]

"Women know what women want" Hilarious line from Kate. I love how important portraying a LGBTQ relationship is to Kate and how she describes it as emotional. It's also great how they all felt so safe on set. So excited for this film! I can already feel this is gonna be a beautiful film and probably quite emotional.

[@CecilliaNguyen]

I love Kate’s point of view in this. “It made me question how I have kind of allowed myself to be steered by writing in the past. You know, when I’ve been a part of something that has been a male and a female intimate relationship. So often, part of the romance is the man taking the woman and the woman allowing herself to be taken. And it made me kinda mad at myself. Like, have I done that? You know, I’m used to speaking up for myself, and being strong, but there’s something very automatic that tends to happen in the writing when it’s about a heterosexual couple in an intimate setting. And there was something so incredibly equal about this, it made me feel quite emotional and grounded and as Saoirse said, safe and equal. We’re women. Women know what women want. So there’s a sort of shorthand that we already had that was fantastic and definitely helped. You know, I mean, I do have to say that. There was something, it was different. It was different but the same because it was equal.”

18:40 - 24:14 I'm very grateful for Kate for being so passionate and open. I have a lot of respect for her. We need more people in the industry who care as much and allow themselves to be moved by art and as be vurnerable to it as she is.

The National Treasures of Britain and Ireland! Kate and Saoirse, the Oscars are waiving.....

[@downeastxg]

Glad that Kate discovered this sense of equality that happens between two women who have fallen in love, and how they will express it in their lovemaking. One does not just lay back like with a man/woman connection. Lesbians have been trying to get that point across to their hetero counterparts for long decades. So impressed with the story, loved how it came about with Director Francis, and where it took Mary & Charlotte. Gemma was also amazingly real... as she is in Gentleman Jack. I had to leave the ending knowing that these two women were (actually real) friends that would love each other but would need to span the divide, clearly, in Mary's favor due to her passion for her work. I do wish, at times, that actors/director would talk about specific scenes. My mind was blown a bit when Mary peed on the beach, wiped her peed hands on her dress then torn apart her pastie to share with Charlotte. lol Loved the 'swimming' scene.

[@marina-utmb]

[@Kassiamacdonald]

[@ameliaagustina4794]

Sorry, I’m not a native speaker of English. What did they imply? Was it the awkward moment/weird situation when they first met in “actors on actors” interview?

[@lexie8516]

@@ameliaagustina4794 it's implying how serendipitous their meeting was with doing an actors on actors interview & random meetings before doing this film that was so rewarding for them both, having created such a strong partnership as co-actors in the movie. She's saying that it may never happen again in that order of how it happened for them to reach the point where they end up working together. Bt I think soairsi is also referring to the pandemic and physical contact being possible again. Lol. Js my interpretation

It's interesting, Celine Sciamma who wrote and directed "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" also spoke of equality when it comes to intimacy between two women.

Right? I just watched PoaLoF last week and I can't stop thinking about how greatly written the movie is. I actually want to read the screenplay just to imagine what Celine imagined writing it.

I can’t wait to see this film!! Kate and Saoirse! 😍🥰 I found a lot of bad reviews about this film, but it didn't influence me to go to watch this film. I'm sure Lee has a different way and style when it comes to conveying the message in his films (He has a very high artistic spirit and and he is very poetic). This is the film I've been waiting for. And also I love how the two actors know each other. Kate and Saoirse are a team. I don't know, but I felt like Kate and Saoirse had a bond, chemistry, long before they worked together, they felt like they admired and supported each other. I was delighted to find out: Kate and Saoirse choreographed the sex scenes themselves. Hearing them feel safe and comfortable during a sex scene made my mind calm. Bless to have Kate and Saoirse in this beautiful film. I love both of them!

[@arcanesiren629]

Normally, I'm not intrigued by movies about same-sex relationships, especially between two women, because I find lesbian movies to be more about fanservice between two women than the depth of the story between two women. Lesbian movies are the same to me. Even the movie Carol, which I saw, didn't fully grab my attention. But a fanfictional story about a relationship between Mary Anning - this amazingly historical woman who made great discoveries - and geologist Charlotte Murchison, that would be an interesting film to see. I hope it'll focus on the plot than fanservice.

[@Qualimar]

I wonder how much screen time Mary Anning's real life religious faith (her journals which are the closest thing we have to her private thoughts are full of poems and prayers) will get compared with her fictional lesbianism. Presumably since Francis Lee respects her and admires her so much we'll see a lot of that right?

No, I don’t think that’s it. I personally believe Kate’s not truly happy in her marriage. Maybe this movie made her truly see what she wants. Not that she’s a lesbian, but that she’s had feelings for her best friend for years, Leo I mean. Unfortunately she can’t have him. But you can definitely see the attraction and the feelings there. That’s what I believe. ;)
