Bones and All was a heartbreaking love story between two lost young adults trying to find their way.
Although this movie is gruesome, extremely violent and may receive backlash for fetishizing cannibalism, it is an overall beautiful film. Luca Guadagnino is truly an artist and can make even the worst characters into the one's we root for.
Taylor Russel was phenomenal; I believe she made this movie truly what it is - a coming of age horror film. She is captivating and portrays Maren in a way that feels authentic. As we watch her in her most disgusting primal state, it is still hard to look away.
As the story follows Maren, we quickly learn what her desires are... to eat people. Her whole life her dad has been protecting her and helping her get away with all the horrible things that she continues to do. Growing up, Maren thought she was the only one of her kind, or what is later referred to as "eaters" when she first meets another cannibal.
Early on we learn that Maren has never met her mother and is hoping that she will hold the answers to all of the questions Maren has about herself. As Maren is searching to find her mother, she meets another eater, Lee (Timothee Chalamet,) who agrees to help her find answers.
Although I was a big fan of Timothee Chalamet prior to watching Bones and All, I am an even bigger fan now. Timothee can truly bring any character to life on screen. He continues to explore his acting range; Bones and All makes it very clear how much he is capable of. I loved seeing his portrayal of Lee and am excited to see what he does in the future.
As this horrifying story unfolds into chaos, we learn who these characters are and what they are capable of.
