The soundtrack… let’s talk about how the music was so perfect in every way. You leave this film wanting to travel the country from dusk to dawn. The film was beautifully shot by Cinematographer Arseni Khachaturan. Bones and all is based on the book by Camille DeAngelis, which I will be looking to read very soon! They navigate the world together in search of their loved ones and home. Sully had the ultimate lines throughout this film, the best one was funny and creepy all at once: “It’s never dully with Sully”… Maren eventually meets the scrawny Lee (Timothée Chalamet) and the two develop a connection by sharing their family traumas and their own search of love and security. Maren leaves Sully to continue her journey but Sully was not done with her. He brings her to a house where he is starting to feed on an old lady who lived there. Sully is also an ‘eater’ and hopes to teach Maren the ways of the world while relying on her companionship. First, she encounters a creepy guy named Sully played by Mark Rylance. Maren sets off in search of her mother and meets ‘eaters’ along the way. Later her Dad gets overwhelmed by the lifestyle and leaves Maren to her own devices, giving her a birth certificate and pointing her in the direction of her long-lost mother, played by Chloë Sevigny. Maren panics and runs home to her dad, who quickly grabs all their belongings to head out to the next place. Oh yes, this is how it begins, no giveaways because we see it in the trailer. She slips out of the house to a friend’s sleepover party, when the girls get intimate Maren takes a bite of her gal pal’s finger. We are first introduced to Maren, a seemingly “normal” teen living with her single dad. “Bones and All” follows the adventures of the ‘eaters’ (cannibals), the two main characters Lee, played by Timothée Chalamet, and Taylor Russell as Maren. Imagine 1980s America, road-tripping as a fine young cannibal teen, with your ride or die… I mean, let’s fucking go – amirite? Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, who brought us “Call Me By Your Name” strikes again with this beautifully crafted film.
