"Bones And All" is a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive in the margins of society, and Lee, 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. (Gary Reber)

Special features include five featurettes: "A Look Inside" (HD ), "Luca Guadagnino:The Vision Of Bones And All" (HD ), "Meet Lee" (HD ), "Meet Maren" (HD ) and "Outside In Love" (HD )

The 1.85:1 1080p picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed on Kodak Vision3 film stock using the Arriflex 235 and Panavision Panaflex Millennium XL2 camera systems and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture exhibits a filmic appearance with a warm and rich color palette, Hues are realistic and natural. Flesh tones are perfectly natural. Contrast is well balanced with natural black levels, revealing shadows and realistic white levels. Resolution is on the softer side though closeups are revealing of detail in facial features, clothing and objects. This is a relatively low-budget presentation that exhibits realistic imagery. (Gary Reber)

The Dolby Atmos/Dolby TrueHD 7.1-channel soundtrack is dialogue focused with generally good spatial integration. Atmospherics are realistic such as the amusement park setting, and sound effects add realism. The orchestral score is at times haunting and edgy and spans the soundstage, extending to the surrounds.

The Immersive Sound element is comprised of an extension of the music, various atmospherics, Maren's father's cassette dialogue, thunder, grocery store sounds, a Ronald Reagan newscast, amusement park sounds, aggressive bird chirps, Maren's mother's dialogue and various din effects. This is a very effective height layer that effectively enhances the spatial dimensionality of the soundfield.

This is a holosonic� spherical surround soundtrack that delivers a feel of realism in real life settings. (Gary Reber)

Reason #11 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

It's really quite simple; the main reason that I read Widescreen Review is because of the overall quality of content and the fact that I can rely upon the writers to provide an open-minded presentation of cutting edge technology as it unfolds in �real time.� I read Widescreen Review to stay informed, entertained, and to learn valuable facts that have the added benefit of saving me money through empowering me to make wise decisions regarding the features and capabilities of the equipment I choose to purchase. While my home theatre is modest, I admire, and am inspired by Widescreen Review's dedication to speaking of and working towards a golden standard for the reproduction of video in the home. I may not be able to afford the very top-of-the-line components, yet with proper information I have found that there is no reason to settle for anything less than the best than I can afford. I choose to read Widescreen Review because of the clarity of its purpose, as well as the consistent delivery of its mission and message. I enjoy reading it every month, it saves me money, and it makes me a more informed consumer with every passing issue. You really say it all in your title �The Essential Home Theatre Resource� and deliver on your promise with intelligent passion inside each issue. Every consumer responds to good value, and that's what I find in the combination of the information I learn, the money I save, and the manner in which I am entertained rather than sold to. Thanks for the fine job that you all do, I appreciate it and so do those I've shared your publication with.
