Intense is the word. I feel energized after watching this. For such a disgusting movie, it does try too often to be beautiful.
BUT WHAT A FILM. As an avid horror fan, I've been disappointed countlessly by films and sequels but not this time. Raw is just that... gritty and unapologetically gross, how refreshing! Garance Marillier is hypnotizing as Justine and Julia Ducournau's inspirations and aesthetic only leave me wanting more.
As many have said before: just let female directors take over horror, they are doing it right.
