"Bones & All is a wild film and I absolutely loved it. I am not sure I have ever seen a film like it. It manages to blend different styles of film and themes that you would normally expect to clash and does so with heaps of style. On the surface it is bloody and gruesome, but you quickly get used to it, focussing instead on the sweet young love story at its heart."

Bruno McKay, Agency Manager, DCM Studios

"The smaller stories at the London Film Festival have shined too. Bones & All, the exquisitely crafted new feature from Luca Guadgnino, takes the viewer on a wild and intimate ride of first love, road-tripping and cannibalism. The film shocks and entrances throughout and is one audiences won’t be forgetting any time soon."

Callum Brown, Agency Executive
