I have wanted to see this movie for a while, and it did not disappoint. Beautifully shot. Not for the timid. My wife had a hard time with a couple of scenes. Granted, it is a bit of a "gross for gross sake", but I loved every minute of it.

"While filmmakers and audiences tend to gag at the thought of ‘the other C-word’ onscreen, writer/director Julia Ducournau and her fearless leading lady Garance Marillier launch themselves teeth first into their bloody and occasionally brilliant cannibal horror pic..."

“Justine” (Garance Marillier) is a fairly robust young vegetarian who has just started attending veterinary school when she is hazed into eating some raw rabbit liver by her popular elder sister “Alex” (Ella Rumpf) and then unsurprisingly feels sick! That’s just the start of her problems though as it turns out her new roomie in the entirely functional gay lad “Adrien” (Rabat Nait Oufella) and their first week is going to see them undergo loads of frat-style challenges at the hands of their “elders”. She develops a nasty looking rash for which she gets some ointment but the rash appears to be symptomatic of something way more worrying. She is developing a taste for meat - and it’s cooking appears to be entirely optional. It’s beyond a craving, and - well let’s just say she doesn’t need a supermarket to procure her victuals. What’s happening to her, and is she the only one at this school who wants to eat the patients? Marillier is on top form here as this gore-fest becomes more entertainingly grisly. Her character becomes more and more desperate to feed then ashamed of just what she’s doing and she’s slowly going mad! It’s presented with it’s tongue in it’s cheek with some fairly graphic gruesomeness but also with plenty of sexually-charged humour, especially from the confident Oufella who’s “Adrien” probably doesn’t realise how precarious life with his new room-mate is about to become. It’s not especially scary, it more funny than frightening, and it’s an enjoyable take on the college horror genre that’s largely devoid of special effects and endless swearing and is just good fun.

Sex, drugs and rock & roll. What more could you possibly ask for in your "Fucked-Up-Coming-Of-Age" movies... Cannibalism? No dramas. _Raw_ has got you sorted. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._

**An extreme desire for blood and flesh!** Totally unexpected. I had no idea what I'm about to watch. Because usually I do small research of films I watch before the click play. I did not know it was even a French film or a horror. But it was not actually a horror in a sense. Seeing the initial set up, I thought it would be about a freshman medical student. Then things turned out strangely. Like it was decades ago when I was young, I have felt uncomfortable for those intentional film. For this, it felt all real. As the contents, I disliked them. But the film succeeded if that's what it's intended to give to its audience. It lived up to what the title meant. But on the other hand, I thought it was making fun of vegetarians. You usually won't find many vegetarians in Europe, but this film's topic was bizarre. Because you know someone who has never consumed meat in his entire life, but then when he begins this new habit, it is like completely going out of control. It's not just one, but two from the same family. Something was very clear, that one not knowing the differences. Because they were never before used to it. Justine is all set to join her sister to practice to be a veterinarian. Coming from a pure vegetarian family, she has to go through some of college traditions. From the beginning itself, it did not go well for her. It affected her health and body. A drastic change in a short period of time, forcing her to uncontrollable desire. Then on one accidental situation, it turns even worst. Ultimately, a conflict between the sisters arise. It takes them to unexpected paths and finally how it all ends were revealed with many uneasy events. > -xX] An animal that has tasted human flesh isn't safe. [Xx- I have seen many films like this, but this one was a stand-alone from all of them. I'm not saying it is a masterpiece, but they have got all things right just as they wanted. Obviously this is for grownups, though not all of them can watch without feeling disgust. Some of article, reviews says, people left the cinema hall halfway through. A very challenging film to watch. You might think I'm exaggerating for a simple cinematic performance, but that's what I really experienced. Only when you give it a try, you might get it. A bit confusing as the story progressing. Like what kind of universe, it is set in. Because whatever happens around Justine, seems nobody caring. Where were the professors! So many doubts. It's just what it is. An imaginative perspective, what if kind of situation turned more uglier. But if you analyse it properly, the only issue was the cannibalism. Not that one showing a desire in consuming meat all of sudden. So, I appreciate the writing, direction and performances, but definitely it is not my cup of tea. Probably for most of you as well. So this is not for all, but selected viewers. Films can be anything, only we have to assert whether we liked it or not. The maker knew what they were doing, the kind of subject they have undertaken for their film. Often a film like this hits the screen, and makes some noise among the film critics and film goers. I don't know on what merit one should decide to watch it. Because it is not for entertainment, nor an art, nor a message film. But I still think it is worth a watch. Just be aware of what you are going to watch. _6/10_
