| 170410 | Stephen Garrett | Book & Film Globe | Fresh | 5/5 | 2025-08-20T21:31:28Z | 2025-08-20 21:31:28 | It’s on the nose in all the right ways for this majestically seedy, deeply creepy and altogether beautiful love story about an ever-consuming hunger. |
| 170411 | John Daniel Tangalin | The Cinema Spot | Fresh | 10/10 | 2025-07-19T11:53:00Z | 2025-07-19 11:53:00 | To be consumed is to be filled with the essence of an other that makes us whole. It isn’t enough to establish a sort of bond; there needs to be something beyond that. That’s when it becomes some type of affection akin to lust. |
| 170412 | Maxance Vincent | Film Speak | Fresh | A+ | 2025-07-13T23:11:15Z | 2025-07-13 23:11:15 | Luca Guadagnino delivers another tour-de-force film in Bones and All, featuring career-best performances from Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet. |
| 170413 | Julian Singleton | Cinapse | Fresh | — | 2025-07-11T22:14:08Z | 2025-07-11 22:14:08 | Luca Guadagnino’s most lush and romantic epic yet, one that recognizes the defiant and terrifying beauty at the heart of pursuing forbidden desires that aren’t our choices to make but are inseparable from who we are as human beings. |
| 170414 | Taylor Henderson | Out Magazine | Fresh | — | 2025-06-10T22:07:00Z | 2025-06-10 22:07:00 | Bones and All is absolute chaos at every turn that makes for a delicious ride that may or may not make you hesitate the next time you handle raw meat. |
| 170415 | Geoffrey Macnab | iNews.co.uk | Fresh | 4/5 | 2025-01-16T23:50:10Z | 2025-01-16 23:50:10 | This is virtuoso filmmaking, but inevitably it leaves a very strange aftertaste. |
| 170416 | Yasmine Kandil | Discussing Film | Fresh | 5/5 | 2024-07-17T11:20:16Z | 2024-07-17 11:20:16 | Bones and All is an exceptional victory of cinema and is destined to become an instant coming-of-age classic. |
| 170417 | Calum Cooper | In Their Own League | Fresh | — | 2024-07-15T21:39:19Z | 2024-07-15 21:39:19 | Combining tones and artistic choices that have no right to be together, yet dazzle in spite of this, Guadagnino has created something harrowing and heart-wrenching, but also spellbindingly gorgeous. |
| 170418 | Tamma Moksha | The Hindu | Fresh | — | 2024-06-10T20:06:57Z | 2024-06-10 20:06:57 | Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino stays true to the themes of Camille DeAngelis’ book of the same name — and makes a convincing case to extend your love and sympathy to two forlorn teenagers stuck in a rickety car on the roads of ‘80s America. |
| 170419 | Sarah Vincent | Sarah G Vincent Views | Fresh | — | 2024-06-08T01:15:26Z | 2024-06-08 01:15:26 | While unflinching in depicting consumption of people, Guadagnino humanizes the victims by using sequences of still shots of their belongings to reflect their lives. People are more than the moment that we cross their path |
| 170420 | Damon Wise | Deadline Hollywood Daily | Fresh | — | 2023-09-19T02:27:57Z | 2023-09-19 02:27:57 | There is a lot to chew on here, about people who feel disenfranchised, unloved and unwanted. The ending may disappoint, but it also ensures the film will have a life as an imperfect masterpiece, the best kind of cult film, after all. |
| 170421 | Nuha Hassan | Nuha Hassan (Medium) | Fresh | — | 2023-09-08T17:45:18Z | 2023-09-08 17:45:18 | Guadagnino lights up every scene in the movie with breathtaking visuals that navigate the push and pull of the love story. |
| 170422 | Gayle Sequeira | Film Companion | Fresh | — | 2023-08-18T12:16:10Z | 2023-08-18 12:16:10 | Desire and danger are two sides of the same coin in Bones And All, a blood-soaked romance that juxtaposes the yearning for touch with the craving for flesh. It’s a cannibal love story that tugs at the heart, even as its characters go for the jugular. |
| 170423 | Rick Bentley | KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) | Fresh | B- | 2023-08-08T23:58:16Z | 2023-08-08 23:58:16 | Bones and All is a compelling story that can be best enjoyed when consumed in its metaphorical state. |
| 170424 | John Serba | Decider | Rotten | — | 2023-08-01T14:45:46Z | 2023-08-01 14:45:46 | Bones and All comes tantalizingly close to being an effective arterial-spray gothic romance, but it too often feels like an empty exercise in style. |
| 170425 | Hector A. Gonzalez | The Movie Buff | Fresh | B+ | 2023-07-25T21:35:57Z | 2023-07-25 21:35:57 | A fable that intertwines tenderness with the horrifying. |
| 170426 | Matthew Creith | Matinee With Matt | Rotten | — | 2023-07-25T21:23:18Z | 2023-07-25 21:23:18 | At times “Bones and All” is heartbreaking and seductive, but even if you know going in that it’s about cannibalism, the movie is still wildly disgusting. |
| 170427 | Jillian Chilingerian | Offscreen Central | Fresh | — | 2023-07-25T20:36:34Z | 2023-07-25 20:36:34 | Bones and All is a deeply humanistic story of impossible love as two drifters search for their idea of home. |
| 170428 | Zach Pope | Zach Pope Reviews | Fresh | — | 2023-07-25T19:46:32Z | 2023-07-25 19:46:32 | A near perfect slice of life romantic road trip film involving two cannibals. Beautiful, horrific, creepy, but all at the same time poignant. |
| 170429 | Serena Seghedoni | Loud and Clear Reviews | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2023-07-25T00:15:18Z | 2023-07-25 00:15:18 | Luca Guadagnino’s Bones And All is the story of two outsiders who are desperately trying to “be people” in a world that doesn’t seem to have room for them. |
| 170430 | Jay Weissberg | The Film Verdict | Fresh | — | 2023-06-06T22:20:20Z | 2023-06-06 22:20:20 | "Bones and All" uses the cannibal idea as a sign of inescapable difference, a metaphor for queerness in its most all-embracing form, and asks how we can lead fulfilling lives in a world that fears us |
| 170431 | James Kendrick | Q Network Film Desk | Rotten | 2.5/4 | 2023-03-27T17:18:40Z | 2023-03-27 17:18:40 | doesn’t quite reach the twisted melodramatic heights to which Guadagnino clearly aspires, which makes Bones and All, like his Suspiria remake, more interesting as a concept than it is effective as a film. |
| 170432 | Patrick Cremona | Radio Times | Fresh | 4/5 | 2023-02-16T21:07:52Z | 2023-02-16 21:07:52 | Guadagnino has crafted something unexpectedly tender, a deeply romantic and empathetic study of young love between outsiders. |
| 170433 | Brian Susbielles | InSession Film | Rotten | C- | 2023-02-14T22:50:50Z | 2023-02-14 22:50:50 | The answer to how you blend a story like this is that it does not taste well, cannibal or not. |
| 170434 | Dan Buffa | Dose of Buffa | Fresh | B- | 2023-02-08T23:25:57Z | 2023-02-08 23:25:57 | Mark Rylance lifts up the show with this creepy, older eater who tries to take Russell’s free spirit under his wing. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross put together a beautiful score and the film definitely walks to its own beat. Easier to admire than love. |
| 170435 | Harris Dang | Impulse Gamer | Fresh | 5/5 | 2023-02-08T01:28:50Z | 2023-02-08 01:28:50 | Bones and All is a fantastic piece of work that manages to be a heartfelt romance, a compelling road trip, a grisly horror flick, and an elegiac piece of longing all at once. |
| 170436 | Jeff Beck | The Blu Spot | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2023-01-30T17:07:05Z | 2023-01-30 17:07:05 | Bones and All is a rather odd little road film, and can be a little slow as its characters go on their journey, but thanks to its intriguing premise and a pair of captivating performances, this becomes a trip ultimately worth taking. |
| 170437 | Carolyn Mauricette | View From The Dark | Fresh | 4/5 | 2023-01-18T22:10:43Z | 2023-01-18 22:10:43 | Young love often appears in the cinema as tender, idealistic and bittersweet, but rarely terrifies and goes against the grain. In Bones and All, two young people brought together by their taste for human flesh hit all these notes in the best way possible. |
| 170438 | Armond White | National Review | Fresh | — | 2023-01-13T22:20:18Z | 2023-01-13 22:20:18 | They’re second-generation lost romantics, ruined liberals. Guadagnino’s allegory details the self-destruction at the heart of teens’ untutored idealism. |
| 170439 | Jackie K. Cooper | jackiekcooper.com | Rotten | 4/10 | 2023-01-08T00:21:58Z | 2023-01-08 00:21:58 | There is very little entertainment meat on these "Bones". |
| 170440 | Dann Gire | Chicago Daily Herald | Fresh | — | 2023-01-03T18:27:39Z | 2023-01-03 18:27:39 | This unconventional horror tale/romance blends queasiness and sincerity with one of the year's best supporting performances by Mark Rylance. |
| 170441 | Sarah Boslaugh | TheArtsStl | Fresh | 7/10 | 2023-01-02T14:22:15Z | 2023-01-02 14:22:15 | ...a pair of emo outsiders on a road trip/romantic adventure. So far, nothing out of the ordinary, but they’re also Eaters, a.k.a. cannibals, a premise that Guadagnino and the cast pull off with an absolutely straight face. |
| 170442 | Jordy Sirkin | Jordy Reviews It | Fresh | — | 2022-12-29T16:41:20Z | 2022-12-29 16:41:20 | Bones and All is a disturbing coming-of-age story, yet it remains somewhat endearing, filled with beautiful and unnerving performances. |
| 170443 | Trace Thurman | Horror Queers Podcast | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2022-12-28T21:58:23Z | 2022-12-28 21:58:23 | Gorgeous to look at and well-acted, but a bit emotionally distant. |
| 170444 | Dolores Quintana | Dolores Quintana | Fresh | — | 2022-12-28T20:32:12Z | 2022-12-28 20:32:12 | BONES AND ALL is pure cinema magic without judgment. A bloody paean to the outsider and the other. A sensual love story filled with all of the carnal desires you could imagine and more. Superb and filled with humanity, |
| 170445 | Al Alexander | The Patriot Ledger | Rotten | C | 2022-12-28T17:46:11Z | 2022-12-28 17:46:11 | Russell is powerless to attach meaning to a human-eat-human existence in a world that somewhat ironically frowns on cannibalism. Palatable, it’s not. |
| 170446 | Samuel Leggett Jr. | JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS | Fresh | 9/10 | 2022-12-28T16:29:32Z | 2022-12-28 16:29:32 | By the end of this you will be left either in shock or in tears. It's very well shot & directed, such a tragic yet beautiful love story. Chalamet & Russell astonishing chemistry & Mark Rylance gives a Best Supporting Performance with the character Sully! |
| 170447 | Edwin Arnaudin | Asheville Movies | Rotten | C | 2022-12-27T19:45:36Z | 2022-12-27 19:45:36 | A mesmerizing first half gives way to a final hour that suggests Guadagnino let his interns take over the production. |
| 170448 | Filipe Freitas | Always Good Movies | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-12-26T16:07:12Z | 2022-12-26 16:07:12 | In my eyes, the ultimate success of this experience comes from Rylance’s creepy performance, and not so much from the cannibal teens. |
| 170449 | Joe Lipsett | Horror Queers Podcast | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2022-12-22T23:02:51Z | 2022-12-22 23:02:51 | While Rylance is poorly cast, Taylor and Chalamet excel in this multi-genre film, which deftly acts as a coming of age romance, cannibal and road trip film. Characters are held are arms length from the audience, but the cinematography is gorgeous |
| 170450 | Fletcher Powell | KMUW - Wichita Public Radio | Rotten | — | 2022-12-20T23:48:49Z | 2022-12-20 23:48:49 | The movie hits the notes you’re used to from this kind of story, plus, you know, cannibalism, and what this ends up meaning is that it’s not ultimately all that interesting once you get past that initial shock. |
| 170451 | Victoria Luxford | City AM | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-12-20T16:35:19Z | 2022-12-20 16:35:19 | Bones and All takes some endurance, but if you have the stomach this is a bloodstained romance that offers plenty of memorable moments. |
| 170452 | Mark H. Harris | Black Horror Movies | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-12-16T23:36:03Z | 2022-12-16 23:36:03 | While Bones and All’s genre-defying nature is an acquired taste, it creates a fascinating universe buoyed by top-tier direction and cast. |
| 170453 | Jason Delgado | Film Threat | Fresh | 8/10 | 2022-12-15T18:11:15Z | 2022-12-15 18:11:15 | The story moves along a bit slowly at times, but the superb acting carries the movie to a compelling place regardless. |
| 170454 | Rich Cline | Shadows on the Wall | Fresh | 4/5 | 2022-12-15T00:17:12Z | 2022-12-15 00:17:12 | Director Luca Guadagnino is always terrific at cutting through surfaces to find human connections and deeper societal truths. So while this film gets very grisly indeed, it remains surprisingly sweet. |
| 170455 | Brian Lloyd | entertainment.ie | Fresh | 4/5 | 2022-12-14T15:45:49Z | 2022-12-14 15:45:49 | Calling 'Bones and All' an acquired taste might seem like a cop-out, but the sharp distinction between affecting romance and road trip drama with unsettling body horror can be too much for some to handle. |
| 170456 | Stephen Silver | Tilt Magazine | Fresh | 4/5 | 2022-12-13T17:40:08Z | 2022-12-13 17:40:08 | Stuff happens here that makes the peach thing in Call Me By Your Name look like nothing. |

| 170458 | Tim Brayton | Alternate Ending | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2022-12-13T04:22:03Z | 2022-12-13 04:22:03 | Captures a lot of the particular qualities of the central part of the U.S., both the warm beauty of golden hour light on wheat fields and failing small towns, and the tiresome, lonely isolation and dustiness that blankets most of the Midwest. |
| 170459 | Matt Hudson | What I Watched Tonight | Fresh | 8/10 | 2022-12-11T14:40:31Z | 2022-12-11 14:40:31 | Peculiar, eerie, and seductive, yet slightly leaden all at once. |

| 170461 | Wenlei Ma | News.com.au | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2022-12-10T13:24:40Z | 2022-12-10 13:24:40 | The film is a different, provocative way to consider an all-encompassing, all-consuming love. |
| 170462 | Christopher Lloyd | The Film Yap | Fresh | 4/5 | 2022-12-09T20:25:08Z | 2022-12-09 20:25:08 | A weirdly engrossing and sensitive portrait of a road trip romance between young cannibals -- literally. If you're not turned off by that premise, you'll find something interesting and worth your time. |
| 170463 | David Stratton | The Australian | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2022-12-09T01:04:51Z | 2022-12-09 01:04:51 | As the young lovers, Chalamet and Russell do their best with the uncompelling material. |

One of the Best Films of 2022. |
| 170465 | J. Don Birnam | Below the Line | Rotten | C+ | 2022-12-08T13:26:55Z | 2022-12-08 13:26:55 | A brilliant third act is too little, too late, for this movie that has a shockingly shallow moral compass and disturbing comparisons of cannibalism to other innate human conditions |
| 170466 | Vincent Mancini | Uproxx | Fresh | B+ | 2022-12-05T16:20:48Z | 2022-12-05 16:20:48 | In a lot of ways, it's the radio-friendly edit of Julia DuCournau's 'Raw' (2016). Yet Guadagnino's flair for scenery and Mark Rylance's standout performance make it hard to forget. |
| 170467 | Sebastian Zavala Kahn | Cinencuentro | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-12-05T03:15:25Z | 2022-12-05 03:15:25 | It initially sounds like a horror film, but despite including a lot of gore, it functions more like a road movie and a romantic drama. It is not a mixture that works at all well. Full review in Spanish. |

| 170474 | Michael Calleri | Niagara Gazette | Fresh | — | 2022-12-02T15:49:23Z | 2022-12-02 15:49:23 | Regarding Maren and Lee, there’s a unique romantic connection between the two cannibals, and Guadagnino’s film, which is well-written by David Kajganich from Camille DeAngelis’s young adult novel, becomes an expressive ode to heartache, hope, and hunger. |
| 170475 | Jared Mobarak | Hey, Have You Seen ...? | Fresh | 7/10 | 2022-12-02T14:58:07Z | 2022-12-02 14:58:07 | Strip away the high-concept horror conceit and this is a poignant search for identity. Unfortunately, however, that conceit is also the draw. I just wish I didn't constantly have to wonder if every other scene wouldn't have been better as straight farce. |
| 170476 | Peter Travers | ABC News | Fresh | — | 2022-12-02T12:38:25Z | 2022-12-02 12:38:25 | A love story about two pretty young cannibals won’t strike everyone as an appetizing dish. But you won’t be able to take your eyes off Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell as they try to reconcile romance with killer impulses on a road trip through hell. |

| 170481 | Eric Marchen | Rogers TV | Fresh | B+ | 2022-12-02T00:09:41Z | 2022-12-02 00:09:41 | There's a lot here to recommend, from Russell’s captivating lead role, to the eerie score composed by Reznor and Ross, that helps make a full meal of Bones and All. |
| 170482 | Russ Simmons | KKFI-FM (Kansas City) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-12-01T22:34:15Z | 2022-12-01 22:34:15 | “Bones and All” is twisted and blood-soaked, but surprisingly poignant thanks to its appealing stars. |
| 170483 | Jennie Kermode | Eye for Film | Fresh | 4/5 | 2022-12-01T21:43:52Z | 2022-12-01 21:43:52 | The balance of subjectivity and object status becomes important in a story whose protagonists are always potentially dangerous to one another. |
| 170484 | Pablo O. Scholz | Clarín | Fresh | 3/4 | 2022-12-01T21:42:48Z | 2022-12-01 21:42:48 | More of a genre movie than an arthouse drama. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 170485 | Frank Swietek | One Guy's Opinion | Rotten | C+ | 2022-12-01T14:54:13Z | 2022-12-01 14:54:13 | Guadagnino’s attempt to juggle disparate tones and tropes is ambitious and he secures surprisingly affecting turns from his young leads, but in the end the film’s mixture of horror and romance doesn’t quite cohere. |
| 170486 | Erik Childress | Movie Madness Podcast | Rotten | 2/4 | 2022-12-01T14:24:15Z | 2022-12-01 14:24:15 | The film never makes a cohesive representation of their struggle nor the danger surrounding them until it becomes little more than simplistic metaphor horror with a blank of a performance as its center. |
| 170487 | Richard Crouse | Richard Crouse | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-12-01T12:55:14Z | 2022-12-01 12:55:14 | Bones and All has more to do with relationship road movies like Badlands than it does Cannibal Holocaust. It’s a haunting tale, if a little languorous for its own good, that makes a meal out of its allegory. |
| 170488 | Asher Luberto | L.A. Weekly | Fresh | — | 2022-12-01T05:02:13Z | 2022-12-01 05:02:13 | While Guadagnino made a name for himself with the sunny vacation drama Call Me By Your Name, he goes in a very different direction on this one, taking the premise of romantic road movies and adding a full-course meal of gore. |
| 170489 | David Sims | The Atlantic | Rotten | — | 2022-11-30T22:20:07Z | 2022-11-30 22:20:07 | Even with the gore and the gorgeous visuals that typically accompany a Guadagnino project, Bones and All too often feels frustratingly tame. |
| 170490 | Jonathan Sim | ComingSoon.net | Fresh | 7/10 | 2022-11-30T22:12:06Z | 2022-11-30 22:12:06 | Everything comes together in a tragic tale in a world that feels unique to itself. A coming-of-age road romance horror drama? That's something worth seeing. |
| 170491 | Micheal Compton | Bowling Green Daily News | Fresh | B | 2022-11-30T22:07:37Z | 2022-11-30 22:07:37 | It’s a impressive feat to balance romance with horror elements, so it is a credit to the cast and Guadagnino that they are able to pull it off. |
| 170492 | Cory Woodroof | 615 Film | Fresh | — | 2022-11-30T03:49:02Z | 2022-11-30 03:49:02 | What a sobering reminder of the ones we’ve lost along the cruel American highway of yesterday. |

| 170495 | Louisa Moore | Screen Zealots | Fresh | — | 2022-11-30T01:01:30Z | 2022-11-30 01:01:30 | Despite imperfections in storytelling and execution, this macabre coming-of-age story is a lesson in life, love, and the need for human connection. |

| 170499 | David Sexton | New Statesman | Fresh | — | 2022-11-29T22:57:33Z | 2022-11-29 22:57:33 | Guadagnino has successfully melded here the taste for horror revealed in his re-make of Suspiria and the tender indulgence of Call Me By Your Name. |
| 170500 | Fernando E. Juan Lima | Otroscines.com | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2022-11-29T22:55:20Z | 2022-11-29 22:55:20 | ... Without a doubt, this is Guadagnino's American film, his Paris, Texas. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 170501 | Mark Johnson | Awards Daily | Fresh | — | 2022-11-29T21:27:04Z | 2022-11-29 21:27:04 | Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All is a tough watch due to its bizarre and graphic subject matter. For those who catch the allegory for outsiders, the film does present some truly inspired moments between Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell. |
| 170502 | Erick Estrada | Cinegarage | Fresh | — | 2022-11-29T19:27:36Z | 2022-11-29 19:27:36 | As is common in Guadagnino's filmography, love and eroticism generate a certain kind of all-encompassing hypnosis that justifies the questionable aspects of the encounters. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 170503 | Sarah Gopaul | Digital Journal | Fresh | — | 2022-11-29T18:36:56Z | 2022-11-29 18:36:56 | In many ways, their urges are treated as an addiction with the occasional hint of a classic movie monster... Yet, there is a sweetness that underlies the narrative, which will have audiences rooting for the fine young cannibals. |
| 170504 | Dustin Chang | Floating World | Rotten | — | 2022-11-29T17:17:01Z | 2022-11-29 17:17:01 | Is this about Gen-Xer's rejection of the Boomers? Is this about consumerism? Or is this some silly teen romance with pacing problems? Either way, it's so skin-deep. |
| 170505 | Leo Brady | AMovieGuy.com | Fresh | 4/4 | 2022-11-29T03:56:06Z | 2022-11-29 03:56:06 | Bones and All is a ball of emotions and shocking revelations, a lovers tale out on the run, and undoubtedly one of the most unique movies of 2022. |
