'Bones and All,' Luca Guadanigno’s cannibalistic romance starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell, is more of a snack than a meal. Read rilaw's full review from Venice:
Being a teen is tough. Your body changes; your emotions surge and consume; you have an insatiable lust for human flesh. For the wee lovers at the center of, that last part isn’t meant euphemistically. They are in fact fine young cannibals, forced into nomadic existence by an urge whose name dare not be spoken in civilized society. Is there some sort of queer metaphor in there? Maybe.
So Maren is used to transience, but it’s a lonely existence. She sets off to find her mother, believed to be somewhere in Minnesota, along the way meeting "eaters" like her. There’s Sully , a curiously costumed, drawling figure who seems to have drifted in from a Tennessee Williams play. Sully says he only eats the newly dead; he’s not a killer. That’s some reassurance, but Maren is still wary. She leaves him behind after one shared meal.
Guadagnino doesn’t waste time staging the careful build up to romance. Maren and Lee are friends with a mutual secret in one scene and kissing in the next. It’s a bit difficult, then, to get truly swept up in the love affair. Maren is a cipher, and Russell doesn’t do much to tease out any distinctive personality. The movie, and the viewer, has to rely heavily on Chalamet’s rangy appeal.
