2022 film by Luca Guadagnino

Bones and All is a 2022 romantic horror film directed by Luca Guadagnino from a screenplay by David Kajganich, based on the 2015 novel Bones & All by Camille DeAngelis. Set in the late 1980s, the film stars Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet as a pair of young cannibals who develop feelings for each other on a road trip across the United States. Michael Stuhlbarg, André Holland, Chloë Sevigny, David Gordon Green, Jessica Harper, Jake Horowitz, and Mark Rylance appear in supporting roles.

Bones and All had its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on September 2, 2022, where it won the Silver Lion for best direction and the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Russell. The film was released theatrically in the United States on November 18 by United Artists Releasing's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, and elsewhere by Warner Bros. Pictures, with the exception of Italy, where it was distributed by Vision Distribution. It is the first MGM film to be distributed internationally by Warner Bros. under their new multi year international theatrical distribution pact with MGM, following MGM's previous deal with Universal Pictures.

The film received positive reviews, with critics praising the performances of Russell, Chalamet, and Rylance, Guadagnino's direction, the cinematography, score, and fusion of genres. It received a variety of award nominations, including Best Feature, Best Lead Performance for Russell, and Best Supporting Performance for Rylance at the 38th Independent Spirit Awards. However, it underperformed at the box office, grossing $15.2 million against a production budget of $16–20 million.
