Bones and All Parents Guide
BONES AND ALL is a story of first love between Maren (Taylor Russell), a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee (Timothée Chalamet), an intense and disenfranchised drifter; a liberating road odyssey of two young people coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who they are.
Some teens may want to watch the film due to the stars.

Is Bones and All Appropriate for Kids Under 17?
In Bones and All you can expect to see some partial nudity, blood and gore, intense violent scenes, characters eating humans, smoking, alcohol use, and profanity used by some of the characters. To sum it up, Bones and All is not kid-friendly or teen friendly.
The very premise of Bones and All is for mature audiences only. It’s about cannibalism. However, that seems to be the flavor of the year, especially with Fresh also coming out. Bones and All is unsettling and some may see the beauty in the story, but I was just too grossed out to get there.
It’s definitely not for people who get squeamish and it’s certainly not for children, tweens, or even teens, in my opinion. I always recommend screening a film first if parents have any questions whether it’s appropriate for their children. However, again, Bones and All is about cannibalism. Don’t let your kids see it.
