Bones and All is downright creepy, raw and crazy

I watched Bones and All (my movie review)

I just watched Bones and All on Prime. Just a reminder this film is based on a novel by Camille DeAngelis (I had no idea it was based on a novel).

The opening was playing the piano in the background until we see Maren (played by Taylor Russell) playing the piano in the auditorium, and a friend enters the auditorium and invites her to a slumber party but Maren refuses to go because of her father (played by André Holland) not allowing her to leave the house. Maren sneaks out of the house and heads to the party. The slumber party was chill. Maren and her friend were laying down on the floor, and talking. The weird part was when she sniffed her, and her hands painted with brown nail polish. Maren bites her finger, she puts her whole mouth on her finger. Her finger looks like a ripped bloody skinny sasauage. Maren leaves the party with blood all over her mouth running from the party. Maren tells her father that she snuck out to the party. He tells Maren that she has to leave town before the authorities take her in. While Maren was on the bus, Maren's father wrote a letter letting her know that now she is eighteen he can no longer help her and she is on her own leaving her the letter, her birth certificate, and etc. Maren arrives at a where she meets Sully, a creepy cannibal/"eater" (played by Mark Rylance) watching her, sniffing her from a distance, and inviting her to the house where a dying woman staying at. After she was dead, Sully and Maren eats her corpse. Things were getting creepy with Sully which was so hard to explain that I don't want to talk about it so

Maren escape from the house and away from Sully. After leaving the house, Maren meets Lee (played by Timothee Chalamet) at the store where he encounters a man harrassing a customer at the store. Lee lures the man kills him and eats him.

Maren tracks down her mother at a psycharatric ward where she was living. When she entered the room, Maren sees her

She looked very unhealthy, silent, didn't say a word, and had no hands. After she reads the letter, Maren's mother tries to eat her luckily she escapes.

In conclusion, Creepy Sully broke into their apartment puts Maren at knifepoint trying to eat her until Lee came and tried to stop him until Sully stabbed him in the chest then he killeds Sully in the bathroom. After Sully dies, Lee tells Maren to eat him. The film shows the two eater lovebirds half naked with a silent ending. The film is outstandingly crazy but somewhat adventours. Russell's and Chalamet's characters have a raw, gushy chemistry in the film.
