I had the privilege of seeing Bones and All at the New York Film Festival last night!
Bones and All is an intense, visceral experience. Some of it is hard to watch, but you won't be able to look away.
Taylor Russell carries the movie, and it truly is a star making performance in the way Call Me By Your Name was for Timothée Chalamet. I'll be surprised if she doesn't see a ton of awards nominations this season.
Timothée gives a nuanced performance as Lee. He's a character who is constantly being unraveled like an onion, who is intentionally hard to read but wins your heart, where each piece you learn informs more about his character and acting choices. I'd love to see him pick up awards nominations, but if he's submitting as supporting actor, I think he'll be overshadowed by Mark Rylance (who was also excellent), whose Sully is loud showy and eccentric. It was fun to see Tim in a different role than he's played before, though, and it shows that he's got incredible range.
(This is very hard to talk about without spoilers! Feel free to reach out if you have questions.)
Here are some of my pictures from the event! Please do not steal them.
