Featured reviews
This movie intriguingly blends cannibalistic horror and romance, while exploring themes of identity, acceptance, and embracing one's truth. Taylor Russell as Maren gives a captivating performance that is both heartbreaking and empowering. Timothée Chalamet's portrayal of a young man trying to find peace in an unjust world is also spellbinding. The script is filled with striking dialogue, and the haunting score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross adds depth to this mesmerising story.
BONES AND ALL is an intense, heartbreaking, and uplifting tale that is sure to leave an impact. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys horror and romance, or simply needs a reminder of the power of love. Be warned though - this movie has lots of blood and gore, so it's not for the faint of heart.
The movie is not perfect, but I enjoyed watching it, as to me this mixture of gory horror and on the road romance is quite new.
The plot is quite thin and the pace of the movie is slow and indefinite, but to me this is not negative: in the two hours of screentime I was never bored, and I sort of felt like I was on the road along with the protagonists.
The lead actors were really good, and in my opinion this was one of the best performances by Timothée Chalamet, whose chemistry with Guadagnino is undeniable. I think he was particularly suited for this role, because his innocent face and body perfectly communicated the nature of his character, conflicted between his monstrous instincts and his good heart.
The best performance was anyway delivered by Mark Rylance, whose creepy character Sully was great for keeping the tension high throughout the whole movie.
I really loved the poetic atmospheres of the road trip scenes, so typical of Guadagnino.
The negative aspects that can't be denied are the poor development of the characters, which makes it hard to root for them, and the quality of the dialogues, which are often shallow.
Personally I didn't appreciate the ending scene and the related dialogue especially.
Despite some negative specs, I would absolutely suggest seeing it, if you don't mind some pretty gory scenes.
Bones & All at its core is a love story; a story of outcasts trying to figure out how to exist in the world. Don't let the underlying love story fool you, this is NEXT LEVEL GORY! If you are squeamish in any way, Bones & All is not for you.
With that being said, I did enjoy this film but it also seemed like something was missing. There's one particular scene in the movie where two characters are driving together and it is cringe-level dialogue.
On a plus, Mark Rylance is great and hella creepy! Just want you want from an old man waiting for you in the dark.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Luca Guadagnino stated in a video for Vanity Fair that the fringe in Maren's hairstyle came directly from the haircut of a character from Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs (1991). The character in question is Stacy Hubka (played by Lauren Roselli).
- GoofsJanelle's reading of the letter (in voice over) doesn't exactly match the written letter seen in Maren's hands.
- Quotes
Maren: [to Brad] You're not one of us?
Jake: Abso-fuckin-lutely normal he is! Well, uh, clearly not normal. Hasn't had his full bones yet. But I reckon that's coming soon enough.
Lee: Full bones?
Jake: When you eat the whole thing, bones and all. You ain't done that yet? That's a big fucking deal. It's like your first time. There's before bones and all, and then there's after.
