Pictures, with the exception of Italy, where it was distributed by Vision Distribution. The film received positive reviews, with critics praising the performances of Russell, Chalamet and Rylance, Guadagnino's direction, the cinematography, score, and fusion of genres. However, it underperformed at the box office, grossing $15.2 million against a production budget of $16–20 million. Plot In 1988, teenager Maren Yearly eats her friend's finger at a sleepover. Her beleaguered single father Frank, used to her cannibalistic nature since she murdered her babysitter at three years old, promptly relocates them and abandons her after she turns eighteen, leaving behind a message where he hopes for her to overcome her hunger. Deciding she wants to find her long-absent mother Janelle, Maren sets out for Minnesota. She runs into the eccentric Sully, who explains he is a fellow "eater", their people can identify each other by scent, and that it is part of their code to never eat each other. He leads her to the house of a dying, elderly woman and begins to feed, though a horrified Maren refuses to eat. The woman dies the next day and Maren reluctantly joins him in eating the corpse, after which he shows her a rope made from the hair of his victims. Unsettled by his growing obsession with her, she flees and continues her travels. While shoplifting in Indiana, both she and a young man named Lee try to stop a drunk customer from harassing a woman. She later finds Lee having eaten the man, and they steal the man's truck. Lee joins her on her trip and they begin a relationship. They stop in his hometown in Kentucky, where he refuses to discuss his past and they meet his sister Kayla. They meet a pair of eaters, where one discusses how he ate a victim "bones and all" by eating them in their entirety, and the other admits he is an eater by choice rather than out of necessity, disgusting Lee and Maren. Lee seduces and kills an amusement park employee because he believes he has no family, but Maren is horrified to discover that he does. Maren tracks down Janelle's mother as they arrive in Minnesota, who informs her that Janelle was adopted after being found abandoned and had willingly committed herself to a psychiatric hospital. Maren visits her to find that she has eaten her own hands. A nurse gives Maren a letter from Janelle, who proclaims they are better off dead than living as monsters. Janelle tries to eat Maren before being restrained. A traumatized Maren abandons Lee and is found by Sully, who she again rejects, causing him to grow violent. Lee returns home and Maren eventually follows him there, where Kayla explains to her that Lee killed their abusive father. She and Lee rekindle their relationship, and he admits that he ate his father after he tried to eat him first, disgusted by the fact that he enjoyed doing so. They agree to live normal lives and move to Michigan. After some time, Maren comes home to find Sully in their apartment, who holds her at knifepoint. Lee returns and they kill Sully, but Lee is mortally stabbed in the process as Maren finds Kayla's hair in the hair rope. Lee pleads for Maren to eat him "bones and all", which she reluctantly does.

On January 28, 2021, it was announced that Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet would star in the film, now to be directed by Luca Guadagnino. Chalamet is also a producer on the film. Filming began in May, by which time Mark Rylance, Michael Stuhlbarg, André Holland, Jessica Harper, Chloë Sevigny, Francesca Scorsese, and David Gordon Green had joined the cast. Shooting took place in Chillicothe, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio, which makes it Guadagnino's first film set and made in the United States. Production was affected by break-ins that occurred for some of the crew's cars, leading to a request being submitted to Cincinnati City Council in late June to provide $50,000 for increased security. While there was some criticism over the proposed use of taxpayer funds for a private enterprise, City Council ultimately passed a measure to grant the funds. Filming wrapped in July 2021.

The film is fully financed by Italian companies: The Apartment (a Fremantle group society), 3 Marys, Memo, Tender Stories, Adler, Elafood, Elafilm, Manila, Serfis and Wise. Guadagnino said that Bones and All is "a very romantic story, about the impossibility of love and yet, the need for it. Even in extreme circumstances." He also said that Chalamet and Russell have "a gleaming power" and are able to "portray universal feelings". Marketing The first teaser for Bones and All was released on August 10, 2022.
