'Bones and All' Movie and Blu-ray Review
The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella.
“Bones and All” is a film I must admit I was not familiar with until I heard of its upcoming release on Blu-ray. After hearing about its premise and the actors involved, I was immediately interested in checking it out. It is an intimate little film which is unique in the way it tells its love story, and it’s…

Practically Nonsensical Review: BONES AND ALL (2022)
"We should feel something"
Inspired Spotify Playlist: I want you to eat me.
Gorgeous and ravenous.
BONES AND ALL is all about consumption. We follow "eaters" who have to reconcile morality, want, need, and ultimately choice.
Is your existence more harm than good? Can you live with that answer?
The film balances the dripping and the grotesque with some genuine moments of humanity and connection. The "eating" moments are visceral and make even the off screen bites ones that are easy to visualize. Also, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross compose another incredible score.
The cross country/backroad road trip is realized with an idealistic longing and vast promise of adventure. The disconnection, empty roads, and flat aesthetic of this mostly Midwestern settings lend well to a palpable feeling of isolation and sometimes dread.
Taylor Russell, as with everything I've seen her in, is an absolute marvel. She may play a killer but she does so with a tender hand.
Mark Rylance as Sully is terrifying from the moment he steps into view. With not even a word said. Sully is played with a simpering, desperate humanity that makes him feel even more horrifying when you begin to contextualize what it means for a man like him to live on.
The runtime melted away for me with constant build up and promise of new journeys and adventure, even when they are resolved sometimes too quickly. And any grumbles I had about some tediousness in the middle, the end blew any complaint away.
The Tolkien references felt very appropriate. As soon as Maren left home, it reminded me of this quote from Bilbo
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
This felt more like a story of found kinship rather than true romance (not that our leads don't have chemistry we just needed more building).
We follow our mains towards self-discovery, tragedy, understanding, and hunger, not just for freedom and adventure but hunger in all its forms.
The film reminds us that the world is an open place filled with amazing and horrific experiences and people.
