Bones and All

a stunning movie, from inside and out, that can’t be reduced to just one simple theme bc of how complex it is. from the way it depicts parental trauma and the things we just cannot shake, to the way it perfectly portrays love and how its ugliness is really its beauty. only luca guadagnino could make a story about something as horrific and disgusting as cannibalism and visualize it as something so vividly gorgeous and raw.  taylor russell absolutely kills it and i’m hoping she gains so much more recognition for her talent. of course the rest of the cast does their thing; each performance is so distinct that you can’t really compare. but it’s really russell’s performance that breathes humanity into the story and draws empathy from the audience members.  i can’t wait to rewatch it and dig for more and more things.
