Instead of going in for an embrace, a hug, or even a kiss, she goes right to the girl’s finger and chomps down on it like it is Sunday dinner. Maren moves in closer and slowly inches closer to her new friend. It becomes an oddly charged moment that is almost sensual. One of them cares enough to ask Maren about her mother not being in the picture. Maren escapes, following the power lines to her friend’s homes, per the instructions. Even stranger, Frank has his own daughter’s windows screwed shut. He sleeps on the sofa near the front door. Maren doesn’t have many friends but is invited to a sleepover, for which she sneaks out of the house. Taylor Russell stars as Maren, a young woman who moves to a small town with her father, Frank ( André Holland). I left thinking just one thing - Luca Guadagnino‘s adaptation of Camille DeAngelis’s novel is an instant classic. As the film says, there was life befor e Bones and All and after Bones and All. A haunting and tender love story that will have you walking out a completely different person than when you sat down. However, Bones and All gets off to a ferocious and effusive start that you will hardly see coming that hooked me and would not let go. I walked into a coming-of-age romantic cannibal road film, not knowing what to expect and fully knowing my chops for anything horror tend to lean away from the genre.
