The darkest of the filmic trilogy that unites husband and wife Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, Flesh and Bone is a grimly affecting tale of two lonely lives, one unexpectedly, dramatically affected by the other. Quaid is the tragic Arlis, condemned to running away from memories of his horrific childhood. His is a life on the road, replenishing vending machines including one with a live chicken and predictions of the future. Ryan's unhappily wed Kay fears a past that Arlis is inextricably tied to. Still, they're drawn to each other. Then Arlis's father, the amoral Roy (an appropriately frightening James Caan), shows up and interferes and intervenes. Joining Roy is the benignly malevolent Ginnie (a sharp Gwyneth Paltrow in her first significant role). The film is written and directed by underused Steve Kloves, who wrote the lovely Racing with the Moon, and who wrote and directed The Fabulous Baker Boys. For Flesh, Ryan is at her throaty, dark best, and Quaid's pain is etched on his face. The couple works very well together in this film, their first as a married couple (Innerspace and D.O.A. were made pre-nup). It's not the romantic light comedy both Quaid and Ryan had later success with, but it's a very effective and compelling film, despite its devastating tale. --N.F. Mendoza

A Rare Bird October 12, 2006
Jason Horsley (London)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Steve Kloves' Flesh and Bone (1993) is a rare bird indeed, a movie with unassuming depths. A beautiful film, moving and eerie and almost mysterious in its effects, it has a grace and poetry all its own. And it went almost entirely unnoticed by the movie-going public. (Today it is perhaps best known, if known at all, as one of Gwyneth Paltrow's earliest featured roles.) It's easy to see why it disappeared without a trace: it's an incredibly subtle film by any standards, and compared to your average '90s fare, it barely "exists" at all. It's like a phantom, a hazy dream. Watching it is like passing through a roadside town, catching a glimpse of a diner and a bar, and imagining the lives of ordinary folk (never so ordinary as we think); then scratching the surface of their routines, and revealing the turmoil beneath. Flesh and Bone is a real road movie, maybe the best of them all, because it creates a perfect sense of people moving, forever moving, but never actually getting anywhere. The characters in the movie are like fish in a barrel, like flies in a sun-drenched room; their movement is central to who they are as people, and also to the meaning and the structure of the film, which is about rootlessness: a lack of having any place to go. All the characters in Flesh and Bone are restless; they are searching for something without knowing, or especially caring, what. They are simply moving because they cannot bear to remain still; like blood in the veins, perhaps.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a lit stick of dynamite in this movie. August 12, 2006

She's scary, she's going to hurt you and you can't take your eyes off of her. James Caan's menace comes across as very real and horrifying. Some people are just no good and need to be taken seriously. This is a quiet, very sad and scary movie. Meg Ryan did a good job but it didn't change her image. Dennis Quaid as always was very good. Gwyneth Paltrow was scary but a relief everytime she had a scene. She was that smart and that pretty in this movie. I have no idea what Emma and Shakespeare in Love are like and I don't want to know but this movie showed early on why she gets picked for movies with strong directors.

Before Brangelina there was Mennis...for the most beautiful on (and off screen) couple was Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. This was the third installment in the 'Dennis-Meg' film triligy and it's a pretty good one at that. 'Flesh and Bone' serves up a decent thriller with some very good acting all the way around. Dennis Quaid plays Arlis, a man tormented daily by the memories of his terrible childhood. He wears this torment etched across his face at all times (if you want to know who Heath Ledger gets his Ennis Del Mar from just watch Dennis here...it's uncanny). He is a drifter, moving around constantly restocking vending machines for a living in an attempt to forget where he came from. After having a fall out with her husband, Kay (Meg Ryan) falls into his life bringing home an uncomfortable disturbance in Arlis' all to routine life. You see, Kay is running from a past that Arlis is connected to in a way he would have never guessed, and it's not until Arlis' 'evil' father Roy (Caan in a brutally frightening performance) shows up with his partner in crime Ginnie (Paltrow in a scene stealing role) that their pasts are revieled. The final few frames of this film are intence and surreal as you watch Arlis confront the demons he's been running from and take action towards redemption. Brilliantly scripted, directed and acted this is surely one that will please the viewer.

Both Quaid and Ryan demonstrate the reasons why they've become so respected among members of their craft. The film is well conceived, well acted, well directed.
