Bones And All

A 2022 coming-of-age horror film directed by Luca Guadagnino, "Bones and All" is about Maren Yearly (played by Timothée Chalamet) and Lee (portrayed by Taylor Russell), two young individuals that possess a cannibalistic disposition. Struggling to grapple with their disturbing condition, Maren and Lee embark on a cross-country adventure, stolen pickup truck in tow, as they search for answers and a sense of belonging.

As the film unfolds, Maren and Lee's relationship blossoms amidst the backdrop of their dark secret. Their shared experiences and unorthodox bond create a deep and intimate connection, but they are constantly haunted by the uncertainty of their future. The question of how to live with their cannibalistic urges looms over them like a shadow.

In "Bones and All," the horror is not confined to jump scares and gore; rather, it seeps into the psychology of the characters. As the narrative unfolds, the audience is kept on the edge of their seats, unsure of what lies ahead for the young couple. The road trip aspect adds a layer of tension and uncertainty to the narrative, propelling the characters forward on a journey of self-discovery and revelation.
