At the start of the film, Maren lives in a rundown, one-bedroom mobile home, and seems quietly jealous of her wealthy, white suburban friends, a racial and class anxiety that seems to bleed into her bloodlust it’s impossible, too, not to find a queer reading here, even in heterosexual characters. There are all sorts of outsider allegories you can read into the cannibalism. ![]() Reuniting with Guadagnino here, Chalamet is almost an elder statesman, a slightly more experienced cannibal showing Maren the ropes, and together they forge a nomadic life on the road together, sharing a fiery, unpolished chemistry. She’s playing much younger than her actual age, but shows the same captivating naivety and sense of sexual awakening that made Timothée Chalamet a star in Call Me By Your Name. It’s played beautifully and believably by Taylor Russell as Maren, the finger-biter in question, carrying the film with an unguarded, raw energy. Based on the novel by Camille DeAngelis, Bones and All is a story of first love between Maren (Taylor Russell), a young woman learning how to survive on. ![]()
