Maren goes to look for her mother and meets Lee, a lonely teenager going on an eventful road trip on the roads of deep America. will their growing love be strong enough to resist their demons, their past and the society’s look considering them as monsters?

Our review of Bones and all

Bones and all takes us to the heart of a fascinating love story between two marginal young people looking for who they are, feeling misunderstood and neglected by the society. In a road trip in the heart of heartland America in the 80's, the two characters meet, assess, acknowledge and give in to each other.

Lucas Guadagnino managed to create characters we get attached to despite the horrors they commit. Viewers are worried of what could happen to them! Very soon, we end up feeling for them, we want to protect them and help them face their demons. Thimothée Chalamet - already nominated for an Oscar for his role in Call me by your name - is one of the rare actors able to express innocence and torments, whilst anchoring his tale in reality. And this is something that can be found in movies like My Beautiful Boy or Lady Bird.

Last but not least, Bones and all is one of these movies making us wonder! Maren's father loves her and does everything he can to protect her, but she is different and realizes that despite everything he sacrificed to help and support her, he can do nothing for her. He eventually gives her up, giving her the possibility to find her mother who - he thinks - can help her understand who she is.

As for the making, the nerve-racking metallic music and the pictures mostly featuring huge cold and naked landscapes keep viewers on tenderhooks until the very final moments.
