Despite the fact that production and filming began prior to Celine Sciamma’s exquisite Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Francis Lee’s Ammonite was released after it and cannot escape the comparison. The two films are similar in that both take place in secluded oceanside locales, focus on a lesbian relationship, and are period pieces. However, that is where the similarities end. While Portrait of a Lady on Fire soars, Ammonite stumbles.
