Mary Anning and the Dinosaur Hunters
June. 07,2024The film reveals the life, plight and loves of the eminent Mary Anning, an 1800's fossil hunter - navigating her career and research in a male dominated society at a time when women's research was largely unrecognised or plagiarised by men. Predominantly unknown despite her spectacular finds, including Icthyiousauri, a Pterodactyl and Plesiosaurus, and notwithstanding the fact that Darwins' 'Origin of Species' was largely influenced by her work. She is at last becoming the most celebrated paleontologist of all time.

Wow! Such a good movie.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
