Why it’s HorroRated

Bones and All is a cannibal romance that takes both halves of that description with equal seriousness. Luca Guadagnino's interest in the body and desire and what people need from each other gives the horror a real emotional foundation. Taylor Russell and Timothee Chalamet develop something tender inside a premise that could've been merely provocative. A moving and unsettling film.

Synopsis

Luca Guadagnino treats the cannibalism as a romance metaphor with enough consistency that the horror elements function as emotional reality. Timothee Chalamet and Taylor Russell develop something tender inside a premise that could have been merely provocative. A moving and unsettling film.
