THE BONES takes us deep into the Gobi, Sahara, and North American badlands, and through laboratories, museums, high-end auction houses, and grungy hotel rooms at the Tucson gem show.

Editor’s note: The Bones (2024) in a nutshell: Firmly a Documentary piece, but with a personal touch. With Jeremy Xido at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Standout turns from Bolorseteg Minjin, Nizar Ibrahim, Francois Escuillie keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. Clocking in at 1h 38m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. The marketing line “100 million years ago, she ruled the Earth… Now she's for sale.” isn’t just flair; it’s fairly accurate. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
