Bones and All Reviews
The film is a different, provocative way to consider an all-encompassing, all-consuming love.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 10, 2022
As the young lovers, Chalamet and Russell do their best with the uncompelling material.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 9, 2022
Dreamily shot, it’s all so achingly hip it hurts. But after two hours and 10 minutes of slow-burn meandering, I was hungry for more meat on these bones.

A love story about two pretty young cannibals won’t strike everyone as an appetizing dish. But you won’t be able to take your eyes off Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell as they try to reconcile romance with killer impulses on a road trip through hell.

This Romeo & Juliet about cannibals is creepy and seductive, fluid, gorgeously shot and gracefully acted.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2022
Even with the gore and the gorgeous visuals that typically accompany a Guadagnino project, Bones and All too often feels frustratingly tame.
| Nov 30, 2022
A conception that doesn’t closely match anything in the real world, but is offered as an all-purpose metaphor for the viewer’s feelings of alienation.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 30, 2022
Guadagnino has successfully melded here the taste for horror revealed in his re-make of Suspiria and the tender indulgence of Call Me By Your Name.
| Nov 29, 2022
With Bones and All, Guadagnino has pulled sweet tragedy out of marred and bloodied flesh.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 28, 2022
A gory shocker that comes with plenty of familiar horror-movie elements, but plays far more like a classic road romance.
| Nov 28, 2022
There are scenes that swim with woozy unease; Reagan analogies more subtle than you might think; endless good-looking moments. But the chemistry at the heart of the matter is oddly bloodless.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 28, 2022
Guadagnino has outdone himself.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 27, 2022
As unsettling as it is heart-racing. The denouement, too, is worth waiting for. Cannibalism has never looked prettier.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 25, 2022
Chalamet proved once and for all that he is the real deal.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 24, 2022
[A] beautiful, voracious coming-of-age romance.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 24, 2022
For a good long while, Bones and All is rather outstanding, an equally seductive and sinister scavenging of genre touchstones.
| Nov 23, 2022
The beauty [Luca Guadagnino] finds in the savagery of these two outsiders’ affliction merges with the sweetness of a story of first love. Is a heartthrob still a heartthrob if he’s soaked in blood? Here, the answer is yes.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 23, 2022
By the end of this film, you feel like you’ve watched Russell test her own limits and emerge a stronger performer because of it.
| Nov 23, 2022
Guadagnino establishes a mood of doomed romance, similar to a skilled production of "Romeo and Juliet," and he sustains it, largely because his leads are all on the same disturbing page.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 23, 2022
Simultaneously freaky and from the heart in a special, singular way.
| Original Score: A- | Nov 23, 2022
