Raw
Country of Origin:
France
What's it about?
In Justine’s family everyone is a vet and a vegetarian. At 16, Justine is forced to eat meat for the first time in her life. Unexpected consequences emerge as her true self begins to form.
Why do we love it?
Dark, mysterious and beautifully shot. Watching this feels like you're watching a car crash in the sense that you know you shouldn't stare but you can't look away. There's a metaphor about coming of age underneath all the shock as well.
