Storyline
Raised as a rigorous vegetarian, doe-eyed freshman Justine is sent off to the reputable Saint-Exupéry Veterinary School where the black sheep of the family, her big sister, Alexia is already studying. As she leaves the family home, Justine abruptly moves into a mad new world of strange school traditions and vicious initiation tests and before long, she will have to chew over her unshakable herbivorous beliefs. More and more as Justine descends deeper and deeper into a hidden world of uncharted animalistic tendencies, an unprecedented and equally morbid craving for raw meat will transform her into something she would have never expected. Now that Justine's corporeal awakening is finally complete, is there any point in denying her hunger for raw flesh?! —Nick Riganas

Disturbing even beyond the expected gore
This film was painfully disturbing. I would look at the lights in the room or the people around me, just so I wouldn't have to look at the screen during some parts. It is clear from the start that the objective of the director is to make the audience uncomfortable, and I applaud his effectiveness in doing so. I was most impressed by the ability of Raw to leave me genuinely cringing at nearly every single scene. It didn't even have to be gore filled or disgusting in a traditional sense. The whole film oozes an uneasiness that the seeps into the audience. As much as I admire the clear objective of the filmmakers and how well they achieved it, it is not the movie for me. Be sure to watch it until the end, however, because everything ties together in a very intuitive and satisfying fashion.
