This week we’re looking at Julia Ducournau’s RAW, the coming-of-age cannibalism shocker that stars Garance Marillier, Ella Rumpf, and Rabah Nait Oufella. Does it live up to its film festival notoriety?

Just got back from seeing it and i really enjoyed it! 😀
I love your take on the movie, good job reviewing it with all the emotions involved.
Had to watch it by myself cause no one could sit through the whole movie with me *sigh*
Any idea if it’s online?
Saw it today and loved it. It’s basically the GINGER SNAPS of cannibalism.
Loved this! Might be my favorite of the year so far.
You make it sound very boring.
I’m a 17 year old male and I watched this film with my grandma and I deeply regretted it after a while. Holy shit. When the dog starts licking at her pussy – I was like… man this was really the wrong movie to watch with my grandma.
hi adam by your description this film sounds pretty intriguing and intense. will have to check it out for sure and see for myself . good books also that you have recommended . thanks rob
Is this at all like Green Inferno? I can’t wait to see this. Too bad it’s not playing here yet. Great review as always Adam!
Hey I’m frist and I Watch your Vlogs some times
we just saw a slasher called one night of fear on amazon hd was pretty cool would like to see your take
Lol “butchered” names
where can i even watch this movie?? i can’t find any movie listings, dvds, or streaming options?
Adam, thanks for the great review. Will definitely have to check it out. Kinda sounds like it might be a great companion to “Trouble Every Day” (2001) by Claire Denis. If you haven’t seen it, make sure you check it out!
great review! 🙂 looking forward to watching this
After THE EYES OF MY MOTHER it seems the extreme art horror subgenre is off and running.
basically tokyo ghoul? without weird super powers and contact lenses
I passed out 40 mins in
hey there, Adam. great job with the video. and it’s funny that you mentioned Exponetial because a few days ago I watched a guy on you tube review your book and he spoke very highly of it.

I am really excited for this one. I was just going to see it vod- but after hearing you talk about it I think I might have to make a trek. I’m a country librarian, but I live close enough to a college town where they will be showing this. Have you seen In My Skin? It is a French film from about 15 years ago about a woman who self cannibalizes? It is really gross, and also super sad. Worth a look. I love livia Lewellyn. I just recently reread some stories in Furnace. I also just finished Fever Dream by Samantha Schweblin, which is not horror but super unsettling and great. She is Argentinian, which is new for me. I do not know too much about Argentina, so I am probably missing whole textual levels, but I still really enjoyed it.
