- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: It will test both a viewer’s patience and their stomach. And yet, it is beautifully crafted.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Bones and All’s tale of young cannibals is bloody and romantic, making for a compelling effort from director Luca Guadagnino. Not everything connected with me to call it one of the best I’ve seen this year, but it’s a must-watch for Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet’s phenomenal chemistry alone.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Chalamet and Russell find a soulful balance together, one of the great romantic pairings of the year, but Mark Rylance’s eerie, lisping loneliness, at once pitiful and threatening, makes an equally strong impression with far less screen time.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A romantic cannibal road picture that graphically portrays what it feels like to be eaten alive.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: This whole movie seems like another version of BLOOD RELATIVES, with a young person on a road trip trying to terms with their cannibalism.
- Sarah Marrs @ LaineyGossip.com
- Excerpt: Bones and All won’t stick with you like some other tragic romances, but it offers just enough style to make for an entertaining, if melancholy and rather gross, couple of hours.
- [New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: The 2nd Annual JanuScary Special ends with a review of Bones and All. An interesting love story following two young cannibals traveling across the USA in the late 1980s. ??
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Hits you in places you didn’t know you could be hit.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: 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.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Bones and All is the sort of lovingly realized feature that understands its oddities and matches its high concept with authentic performances and a touching approach to the filmmaking.
- Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: No matter what you hear about the movie – it features graphic violence and vivid depictions of cannibalism – its real power lies in capturing the almost ineffable experience of finding a sense of home, belonging, trust, and deep love in another human being.
