Raw

RAW tells the story of a teenage girl who joins her sister at a prestigious veterinary college and is forced to partake in a hazing ritual that sees her defying her vegan upbringing by consuming raw rabbit liver. From here she develops an insatiable desire for flesh of all types.

A coming-of-age like no other, Julia Ducournau's RAW is simultaneously harrowing and beautiful – a gorgeous cinematic exploration of family and cannibalism that marks one of the most promising debuts in the genre space in a long time.

Critic Reviews:

• " Julia Ducournau's feature film debut Raw joins the canon with the French teen-cannibal, coming-of-age story I didn't know I was waiting for. " – Dahlia Balcazar

• *" It often takes decades for filmmakers to strike the right sense of balance Ducournau has achieved with Raw, and she is a director and writer with a formidable grasp. " – Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

• " The picture justifies the feminist analyses it will inevitably generate. It also offers much disgusting fun. " – Donald Clarke
