Raw's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
"Although the film is rooted in arthouse film territory, and is particularly inspired by the films of David Cronenberg and David Lynch, Raw turns out to be its own wild animal".
The Hollywood Reporter
It's rare to see such confidence in a first feature, yet Ducournau seems to know where she's going at all times, keeping the narrative lean and mean while utilizing an array of stylistic techniques -slow-motion, sequence shots and tons of on-screen prosthetics- that never let up until the witty, and inevitably grisly, final scene.
Variety
Raw is a deliciously fevered stew of nightmare fuel that hangs together with a breezily confident sense of superior craft.
Screen Daily
The young cast, from the newbie leads to an army of go-for-it extras, are terrific, and Marillier is something else -ferociously expressive in a performance that's no-holds-barred on every front.
Screen Crush
To say that Ducournau?s cinematic introduction is assured would be an understatement; it's a shrewd, insightful, and surprisingly funny film that feels like the work of a more accomplished filmmaker who has refined their talents over the course of many films and years.
The New Yorker
The curious thing is that, as with many big-budget horror flicks, this small French-Belgian movie feels too pleased with its own outrage; the grosser it grows, the less interesting it becomes.
