    Do you think you can kill and no one notices? , that's the problem here!
    The problem with Bones and All (2022) is that it is not believable from the point of view of the survival of the 2 main characters and this reason is very important to me, that is why I give 5 stars out of 10. How is it possible that After the trail of death and massacre left by this pair of Bonnie & Clyde across several states in the USA, there is no one even remotely interested in catching them, locking them up, understanding them, giving them life options...etc., this is reflected in films like Natural Born Killers (1994) or Near Dark (1986), where even the vampire gang led by Lance Henriksen confronts the police with bullets. Chalamet and Russell's romance is shy, warm and without carnal desire, an aspect that the director handles well here. Many who have written here their point of view on the film speak of the lack of horror and terror, but you have to see Guadagnino's work to understand why you will not find that here, Guadagnino is an expert in taking his time to explore interpersonal relationships, which implies slow films. I really liked the costume design, the locations that indicate the lower-middle class of the USA, and the performance of Taylor Russell who timidly believes in Chalamet as a future for his new life as a carnivorous predator.

    This movie had me crying at the end.
    This movie is so raw, and the characters are so beautifuly done that sometimes you forget that they are cannibals.

    I love this movie. Weirdly enough, it's both one of my favorite horror movies and favorite love movies. I say love because I can't really tell if it's romantic, but it's definitely about love.

    The plot (without getting into it) is pretty unique to what I usually see with movies, which is why I think I love it so much.

    Timothée Chalamet is not someone I'd expect to see in a movie like this, but, Taylor Russell is the perfect person for this role.

    Oh, and don't get me started on the cinematography. It's just amazing. It almost feels nostalgic.

    The theme of cannibalism and love mixed together threw me off at first, but I get it now. The ending? Truly art, it's beautiful.
