Bones and All (2022, dir. Luca Guadagnino) - review by Rookie-Critic
Bones and All is an odd one, and it is definitely not for everyone. I've heard every opinion under the sun about this one: it's incredibly gruesome, it's not that bad/I've seen worse, it's tonally inconsistent, it does a great job of balancing its contrasting tones, and on, and on, and on. My opinion is that it's pretty good. I feel that it mostly does a good job of balancing the tones of the gross-out gore and violence with the more standard YA romance beats, but there are times (especially the end) where things start to unravel and the performances feel like they're out of a cheap soap opera. This is strange and feels like a deliberate choice because for a lot of the movie the acting is really good. Timothée Chalamet in particular is very captivating. Taylor Russell, who plays the film's lead character Maren, does this crazy thing where it's almost like she goes dead inside when she needs to "feed." Her and Chalamet have great chemistry and their performances, for the most part, are fantastic. The cinematography and the production design are also remarkable, and for how ridiculous the plot seems when it's laid out plainly, these two aspects of the film make it seem surprisingly grounded.
Grungy middle America is on full display, and the road trip aspect of it all in conjunction with that stellar cinematography and production design allows the locales to almost become characters in the film as well. The movie works on a lot of levels, but its biggest flaw (outside of the ending hitting with a dull thud) is that I'm not entirely sure I know what the point of it all was. I've been told the book it's based on is supposed to be an LGBTQIA+ allegory, and I can see the correlations between a lot of the film's sequences and themes with that, but overall I just don't think it holds together very well when you start picking it apart (and you can definitely pick it apart). As far as the violence and gore goes, I'm sure a lot of people will have a hard time stomaching it, but if you're the kind of person who saw the trailer, understands what kind of film this is, and is still interested in watching it, chances are you've seen way worse than this. None of it particularly bothered me, and the most disturbing scene in the film is not disturbing because of anything having to do with the gore or violence of it. I'm not sure I can recommend this one fully; it's a little too niche for casual audiences and very in-between in its highly contrasting genres for, well, genre fans, so it's a little tough to place. For the most part, I did enjoy it, and I think there's enough to like here to justify a good score.
Score: 7/10
Currently on the absolute tail end of its theater run. You can purchase the movie on YouTube and it's also available for pre-order on DVD & Blu-ray through Warner Bros.
list of young actresses of color who deserve to have more recognition and opportunities as actors like Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kathryn Newton, Millie Bobby Brown etc. It would be refreshing to see more of these talented and underrated actresses of color
*Note, the list consists of actors born within the mid 90s-2000s. This might not be a complete list so whoever sees this is welcome to add more actors that I missed. I might update this post from time to time
This list has gotten so long that I have to make a separate one for male actors of color
Rachel Zegler-(she deserved way better than the hate over snow white)
Lana Condor-(aside from x-men apocalypse and the to all the boys trilogy, she hasn't done much blockbusters compared to Noah, despite her being the lead in the latter films)
Dominique Thorne-(She has her Ironheart and deserves more opportunities, both in the mcu and outside)
Halle Bailey
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan
Lola Tung-(same example with Lana, pretty jarring how her male co-stars are getting work beyond the summer i turned pretty and yet there's nothing from Lola)
Ashley Liao
Megan Suri-(another cast member from Never Have I Ever who also deserves all the opportunites)
Joy Sunday-(Bianca from Wednesday, deserves as much love as Emma Myers)
Iman Vellani-(Ms Marvel/Kamala Khan herself, deserves to have a thriving career and be as big like Tom Holland)
Ayo Edebiri-(2023 was a big year for her, hopefully it continues and she's not overlooked or overshadowed by her white co-stars in The Bear)
Savannah Smith-(Carried the gossip girl reboot, she deserves to have as much recognition as Leighton and Blake did after the original Gossip Girl series)
Madison Reyes-(Julie and the Phantoms deserved better than to be cancelled after one season and with a cliffhanger. Let her star in a musical and or disney film)
Simone Ashley-(One of the main leads in Bridgerton yet Phoebe and Nicola have more upcoming projects than her in Hollywood)
Charithra Chandran
Arsema Thomas
India Amarteifio
Madeleine Madden-(Carried season 2 of The Wheel of Time and if you watched the whole season, you'll understand why)
Moses Ingram-(Did not deserve the hate over the Obi Wan Kenobi series)
Minnie Mills-(She deserved to appear in season 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty)
Amrit Kaur
Alyah Chanelle Scott-(it's frustrating that both the main leading ladies of color are overshadowed by Renee Rapp and Pauline, who's related to Timothy)
Letitia Wright-(Pretty jarring how she's been in plenty of mcu projects yet it's easy to count the number of roles she's been in outside the mcu, and has been acting since 2011, longer than Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor Joy and Millie Bobby Brown. Wright has even acted as long as Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams and they've been in more projects than her)
Yasmin Finney-(She's done both Heartstopper and Doctor Who)
Imani Lewis-(First Kill deserved better than being cancelled after one season. Let her do more horror and supernatural themed
Leah Jeffries-(Deserves all the support especially once the Percy Jackson series comes out)
Auli'i Cravahlo
Erin Kellyman-(After the Han Solo film, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Willow, let her appear in more sci-fi and action blockbusters)
Sadly, tumblr has a 30 limit on adding gifs. I definitely missed so many on the list. Anyone is welcome to add more to the list. All of these talented actresses deserve all the love, appreciation and more opportunities and roles
I might do a part 2 which will include male actors

Notes: Great 4k capture of this stunning regional production. Starts partway through Carrying the Banner. Has some issues with washout from start of filming until about The World Will Know. Otherwise, really nicely centered video, with some more wides than usual to highlight choreography. Unfortunately some loud chatter from an audience member next to me. This cast is incredible.

Allston was an American artist and poet who traveled to France in 1803 and lived in Europe until 1818.
The Paris to which Allston and Vanderlyn came in November of the year 1803 was not the Paris which the modern world knows. The beautiful city painted by the Impressionists so often that the whole world is familiar with its charm and cheerful elegance is the creation of Baron Haussmann and the second half of the nineteenth century. The Paris of 1803 was very different both in outward aspect and in its spirit. It had not yet become the great pleasure city of the modern world. Outwardly it was small and rather more medieval than modern in appearance. The traveler from Holland and the north, approaching by the road from St. Denis, passed over a flat stretch of open country whose only feature was a village on a small hill to the right of the road, called Montmartre. Then, passing through suburbs, he came to the St. Denis gate, inside which was a city of tall stone or plaster houses that seemed even taller because the streets were so narrow. From its streets rose the famous smell which travelers still commented on as they had in the time of Villon or Louis XI. A medieval king of France, looking out a window of the Louvre, once fainted at the stench of the street below. Not until the engineering feats of the great Baron Haussmann did the odor of those medieval streets vanish into tradition. There were no boulevards and no Eiffel Tower in the Paris of 1803, no Madeleine and no Arc de Triomphe. The larger portion of the Louvre had still to be built, and where now the pleasant gardens of the Louvre are was a warren of close-packed medieval houses. Beyond the gardens of the Tuileries lay the vacant space made sinister by the terrible memory of the guillotine. The shadow of that instrument still hovered over the city, although its labors had ceased ten years before. When Allston arrived, Napoleon had restored order with a strong hand and was seeking to re-create once more around himself the elegant society of the old regime. The twenty-six-hundred-odd persons who had died on the scaffold during the Reign of Terror, between September 5, 1793, and July 27, 1794, seem few enough compared with the endless butcheries of the modern world. But the world had then been taught by its literary men to believe that man was naturally rational and good. It had not been accustomed to mass massacres and to the sight of fanatics coldly murdering hundreds of thousands to prove a theory. The shock of that first outbreak of killing was so great that its memory is still green, while the vast systematized performances of our times are forgotten almost before they are over. As soon as Napoleon restored order in France, the eminently social nature of the French genius had begun to reassert itself.
Farington, the English painter, who visited Paris in 1802, reported: “A remarkable change has taken place in the appearance of the people from what they were a few years ago, gloomy,—savage,— without regard to dress or cleanliness. They are now coming fast round to chearfulness and civility.” But he also noted that the houses of Paris were out of repair because people still felt too insecure to lay out money upon the care of their property. And if Napoleon, a child of the eighteenth century, was a milder despot than one of the modern sort, his government was, after all, a military dictatorship with its secret police and censorship of opinion and all the other traits we have learned to know so well. Moreover, France was again at war.
This Paris was not a city in which an American of Allston’s day and temperament would linger for love of its atmosphere. Allston came there to study the Louvre.
— E. P. Richardson, Washington Allston: the Biography of a Pioneer of American Art and a Study of Romantic Art in America, (p. 62-63)

~ “This tiara, made of carved, polished steel and set in a secondary structure forged in gold, which among other things is part of a demi-parure comprising a pair of earrings and a necklace, was made for Queen Hortense of Holland, daughter of the Empress of France, second wife of Emperor Napoleon I of France, and of Viscount Alexander of Beauharnais. Hortense had no daughters when she died, and therefore she bequeathed the tiara to her granddaughter, Princess Joséphine of Leuchtenberg, Queen Consort of Sweden and Norway as the wife of King Oscar I of Sweden and Norway. The tiara has since remained in Sweden, passing from sovereign to sovereign, first from Queen Sofia of Sweden and Norway in 1876, then to Queen Victoria of Sweden in 1913 and later to Queen Louise of Sweden in 1930, and finally to Princess Sibyl of Sweden in 1965, but never worn. In 1976, however, the new sovereign, Queen Silvia of Sweden, found the tiara and decided to have it restored, debuting on a state visit in 1979, and since then it has become a highlight of the Bernardotte collection, being also worn by Princess Desirée of Sweden, Baroness Silfverschiöld, by Princess Christina of Sweden, by Princess Lilian of Sweden, Duchess of Halland and finally by Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, who uses it very often, and made her debut in 2013 on the occasion of the wedding of sister, Princess Madeleine of Sweden, with Christopher O'Neil.” ~
