Bones and All, a film about loneliness, a coming-of-age tale, and occasionally a horror, is directed by Luca Guadagnino from a script by David Kajganich. The latter is the worst element of the movie, and Guadagnino only dabbles in it before backing off. Although Bones and All is too subdued to be a true horror movie, its other elements have substance. Bones and All isn't always strong, but Taylor Russell gives a fantastic leading performance and it excels in its examination of human connection. It's frequently sluggish and surprisingly disturbing.

Bones and All, a film adaptation of Camille DeAngelis' book, centres on Maren (Taylor Russell), an original adolescent. Although she is alone, the spectator quickly understands why: Maren has been a cannibal since she was a baby. They have had to travel around a lot to stay safe, and her father (André Holland) has always known. Maren's father deserts her after she becomes 18 and she is left to care for herself. First meeting Sully (Mark Rylance) on her own, Maren learns the ropes from him about when and how to feed as well as which victims to pick so as to not draw attention to herself. Later, Lee (Timothée Chalamet), another reclusive cannibal with his own set of personal issues, is introduced to Maren. The two go on a road trip to look for Maren's mother, falling in love along the way.

The movie occasionally comes out as aimless, especially in the middle when it starts to meander, but it finds its focus in its examination of human connection and what long-term isolation compounded with misogyny and entitlement can do to a person. people aren't supposed to be alone, and although though the cannibals don't have a strong sense of community, Maren finds love and comfort with Lee, and their relationship is made stronger by their shared identity. When this happens, the plot really takes off because it gives the two characters a chance to get to know one another better, mature, and perhaps even come to the realisation that they can stay on the periphery of society as long as they have each other.

However, when Bones and All shifts its attention inward and toward the people, it still manages to be entertaining to watch. Their individual journeys, especially Maren's, may be captivating and profound, full of grief and optimism, beauty and rage. After becoming monotonous for a while, the movie picks back up, and as its layers are revealed, it reveals the humanity, love, and hope that are deeply ingrained in its narrative.
