This film was painfully disturbing. I would look at the lights in the room or the people around me, just so I wouldn't have to look at the screen during some parts. It is clear from the start that the objective of the director is to make the audience uncomfortable, and I applaud his effectiveness in doing so. I was most impressed by the ability of Raw to leave me genuinely cringing at nearly every single scene. It didn't even have to be gore filled or disgusting in a traditional sense. The whole film oozes an uneasiness that the seeps into the audience. As much as I admire the clear objective of the filmmakers and how well they achieved it, it is not the movie for me. Be sure to watch it until the end, however, because everything ties together in a very intuitive and satisfying fashion.
