I like to watch a horror movie every Halloween. Seeing that Raw had been well received and noted for its goriness, I thought, why not? Well, it is surely one of the worst movies I have seen in recent years. It not only has nothing whatsoever to say about the real world out there, it fails to make sense of its own ludicrous narrative. The themes are abstracted into utter meaninglessness.
George Orwell's 1984 works as an exaggerated dystopia because he explored its themes with Stalin's Soviet Union and Hitler's Germany anchoring his creativity.
Julia Ducournau created an impossible world so different from our own that it undermines its own themes by insisting on an incoherent narrative that reduces its disparate, disjointed scenes to a mere shock value that is itself oddly restrained and diluted by the incoherence.
This is glossed-up, crap-for-brains storytelling. The setting is a school for veterinary medicine, and yet, how many of those who rate it a 7/10 or better would trust any of the characters with a houseplant, let alone their pet? In my opinion, The Handmaiden (also 2016) was interesting and very well made without saying much about life in general; a film absorbed in its own world, but coherently so.
I very rarely review movies I hate, so I suppose this one is intriguingly loathsome and therefore not garden-variety dreck, to say all I can for it.
Raw is an emotional thriller that utilizes the full gamut of human emotions to make a powerful commentary on the difficulty of navigating emerging adulthood. Ducournau uses a full range of scenarios designed to elicit extreme reactions of disgust—including cannabilism, nonconsensual sex, and a full range of blood and gore—to highlight how repulsive and damaging the betrayal, cattiness, and conflicts common among college students are.
Raw focuses on the changing role of sibling relationships, the power of peer relationships, and the effects of parent-induced sexual "starvation" on their children. Raw also briefly touches on several of the emotional complexities of emerging adulthood: eating concerns, substance use, and managing teachers' and peers' perceptions. Ducournau masterfully interweaves intensely disgusting emotional scenes with a plot that is just close enough to reality to keep the viewer engaged to produce one of the best films of the year.
