Raw

A prodigal veterinarian student, Justine (Garance Marillier), who also happens to be a vegetarian is admitted into her first year of vet school with high hopes of academic success. But, while being hazed with the rest of her incoming classmates Justine finds she’s developed the inexplicable taste for raw meat; meanwhile, big sister Alexia (Ella Rumpf), does her best to shepherd Justine through the rigors. Surviving the social and academic pressures and now these new cravings, what’s a girl to do? Written and Directed by Julia Ducournau this twisted dramatic horror is all about the unsettling and squirming as opposed to the screaming and jumping, metamorphosis-esque and relatively unmasked with its subtext on sexuality and feminism. Striking and measured with rich and atmospheric tonality, Ducournau makes a notable splash entrance as a fresh new director, fans of grizzly concepts eat your heart out! Raw is rated R.
