Bones & All | by Luca Guadagnino, starring Timothée Chalamet

[BluCollector13]

This is the third ending in a row for Luca Guadagnino that left me feeling completely emotionally gut punched by the ending shot.

I read the book last week and loved it. But the trailers look like they changed about half of the story, which could be a great thing.

Any idea when this goes wide?

Tuesday night 11/22, Wednesday 11/23 officially all day.

I thought the trailer with the Leonard Cohen song was so much better than the trailer showing in theaters. I also have the trailer with everything and while I'm glad it's getting a nice push I'm kind of sick of the trailer. Now if it were the better trailer I probably wouldn't be sick of seeing it.

Not sure how I feel about the trailer, but I am excited for the Trent and Atticus score.

[The Debts]

Holy crud, looks one of my local theaters is getting this after all. Stoked to see this, Luca's take on Suspiria really has grown on me over the years and the premise sounds like My Shit.

[MifuneFan]

Saw this today, and I thought it was good, but not great. It's a nice mix of a road film, with a coming of age love story, except with cannibals. I just re-watched one of trailers for this, and they really made it look like more of a horror film than it actually is, so anyone looking for a horror film will be disappointed. There are certainly some horrific, and bloody scenes, but they are few and far between.

Chalamet was great as usual, and had really nice on-screen chemistry with Taylor Russell. And holy hell, Mark Rylance plays one of the more unsettling characters I've seen in some time. Rylance's character Sully, with his dead, soulless stares, seriously creeped me out here. André Holland also turns in another solid performance, though we hear him in a recording, more than we see him on screen.

I'd say the film's biggest weak point is its pacing. I don't mind a slow-burn kind of film, but this felt much too slow at times, especially the middle where it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere fast. It never took me completely out of the film, and there are some scenes in these parts where they're just driving through the country that I actually loved, but it may test the patience of some viewers. The last act thankfully picks up, culminating with a really intense, and somewhat emotional finale. The Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross score was pretty nice, having some mellow vibes that complimented the somber vibes of the film nicely. My favorite would be a beautiful track played dung the end credits called The Great Wide Open (Reprise). Overall, I would say this didn't completely grab me on my first viewing like Call Me By Your Name, or Suspiria did, but I can see it growing on me with another viewing or two.

3/5

[MikeScott]

I didn't expect a cannibal love story to be so moving. This is a beautifully done film. The performances are across the board great. Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet and especially Mark Rylance are superb. Rylance's work here is worthy of an Academy award nomination. Given the subject matter of the film he probably won't receive one but it will still be a disappointment if it doesn't happen.

This has some of my favorite cinematography this year. I loved the aesthetic. I loved the music. It blew me away. This is my favorite movie of the year so far and a future American classic.

2.5/5 for me. Feel like it could’ve been great if they cut 30-40 minutes. Just felt disjointed at times and that random stuff was happening.

[MikeScott]

I welcomed the runtime personally. There was a point where I thought it would probably be over soon and I looked at the time and was relieved there was quite a bit left yet. Maybe it will drag a little on repeat viewings but for the first time I was enthralled. I do plan on seeing this as many times as I can before it's not showing anymore. Or until I run out of friends to drag along with me.

[MazeRunner]

4/5.

The movie only changed a few minor things from the book (usually minor character genders) so I knew everything that was going to happen. Was hoping they’d change it up a little but it’s pretty faithful to the book.

I’m mad that my theatre didn’t get this on Tuesday night so I had to wait until last night to see it.

And then my theatre puts it on one of my least fave screens where the screen is small and so far away that I couldn’t even tell if

[Show spoiler]Timothee was clapping that man’s cheeks or giving him a handy

but thankfully Wikipedia filled me in. That scene in the book was originally with a female and in a playground.

[Britbuffguy]

Saw this and The Menu today. Both were pretty bland films, but this one was far more boring and totally predictable. I liked the acting, but the entire second half left me wanting to nap.

[format916]

Wasn’t even looking forward to this and I ended up liking it quite a bit. Loved the score, can’t wait to listen to it.

[MazeRunner]

Saw it again today. Moving my score up to 4.5/5

Well that never happened. But at least there's more screenings for the Disney owned movies! /s

[MazeRunner]

People already have DVD screeners of this so it will probably leak online soon smh.

I enjoyed it a little more than you but agree that it was longer than necessary. There were a couple things that I didn't care for.

[Show spoiler]The first is the fact that Sully was able to track Maren down regardless of where she went. Unless they were implying he could smell her across state lines it didn't make sense. Second, I didn't like that they never explained why the eaters had to eat people. They were obviously able to survive eating conventional food. Maren was able to go years between eating. The fact that Sully said the older an eater gets the more often they have to eat didn't cut it for me as an explanation.

The film was well shot and acted but I was hoping for more. I also thought Chloe Sevigny was in a completely wasted roll.

A tough opening weekend for Bones & All in theaters.

The movie looks slightly interesting, like why these people are like this, what causes it, what if they don't eat humans, do they suffer a horrible fate?

[HorrorBlu]

Feels like a strange choice to release it this weekend. I'd love to see it, but tough to break away from family holiday stuff for it. Late October seems better.

[acroyear2]

Hot take: Mark Rylance is a lousy actor. I know he seems to be loved by many and has won an acting Oscar, I just don't see what others do.

But, after seeing a trio of diverse performances from him this year that left me quite impressed, I think I may have been won over.

The Outfit
The Phantom Of The Open
and now Bones And All

I don't dread if I see his name attached to a project anymore.
