How disturbing is Bones and All? ›

Violence & Scariness

Extremely bloody violence: on-screen murder by bludgeoning and stabbing; scenes of people biting and eating bloody parts of a dead body (stringy goop comes out, along with pooling, dripping, and spouting blood and lumps of tissue).

“Bones and All” depicts queerness—the alienation that queer individuals experience—without reverting to heteronormative movie standards by not outright portraying the characters as gay, but instead as queer characters in a straight relationship.

Bones and All is a compelling story that can be best enjoyed when consumed in its metaphorical state. Rotten score. Bones and All comes tantalizingly close to being an effective arterial-spray gothic romance, but it too often feels like an empty exercise in style.

BONES AND ALL is a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee, an intense and disenfranchised drifter; a liberating road odyssey of two young people coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who ...

Entertaining but GORY (and other serious thematic content)

I'm 20 but if I had kids younger than 15 or 16 I WOULD NOT let them watch this. It's really mostly about the gory/vivid crime scenes. Blood, decay...

The film received positive reviews, with critics praising the performances of Russell, Chalamet and Rylance, Guadagnino's direction, the cinematography, score, and fusion of genres. However, it underperformed at the box office, grossing $15.2 million against a production budget of $16–20 million.

The narrative climax of the novel is Lee's decision to embrace Maren sexually, after which she eats him. Lee, she believes, consented to being eaten as a characteristically morbid expression of his love for her. Through his apparent sacrifice, he pushes Maren to accept herself just as he has accepted her.

Mark Rylance is brilliant in the movie as well. The scene where he and the lead actress make a meal of that fresh corps is haunting. Just finished watching this like 5 minutes ago and omg, Mark Rylance personified unsettling to me in that movie. I think he alone might give me nightmares tonight.

The “eaters” of Bones and All are cousins to vampires. Like the blood-suckers of old, they are driven by an insatiable thirst for the warm lifeblood of humans (coupled with flesh, which vampires don't much care for).

The point is that some people did make quite a lot of money in the '80s. No one I knew did growing up." The writer also resolved to explicitly depict the acts of cannibalism in the film, moments which DeAngelis describes with comparative obliqueness in her original novel.

Did she eat him at the end of Bones and All? ›

In the book, Maren eats Lee against his will. In the movie, Lee is hurt when he and Maren kill Sully. Maren puts him out of his misery by eating him, at Lee's request. It's tough to say if the Bones And All ending is a satisfying horror movie ending.

It follows that classic narrative structure as Marin leaves home, meets new people—including someone she falls in love with—and learns how to deal with her problems, desires, and all-consuming addiction. She has to learn how to live her life while navigating this problem she cannot escape.

there are a couple of jumpscares (2 i can think of) and some graphic nudity (breasts are shown multiple times and posters in a minor characters bedroom have p*rnographic imagery).

The ending of Bones And All is not for the faint of heart. It's upsetting, disturbing, and gory, but it's also tragic. Maren finds out from Lee's sister Kayla (Anna Cobb) that their dad, who abused them and drank too much, hurt them and then disappeared.

“Bones and All” depicts consumption as a highly intimate act – as one that is not chosen, but is an intense compulsion so strong that it can be smelled by other cannibals nearby. The movie's tragic conclusion is simultaneously devastating and romantic.
