Review of Eating Raoul (1982) by Andrew L — 19 Apr 2018
"Eating Raoul" is an odd little dark comedy about a conservative couple trying to survive in a Los Angeles swingers scene by murdering and robbing various people and a locksmith wants in on their game but at a price.
The two main actors Mary Woronov and Paul Bartlet (who also wrote and directed the film) have great chemistry. The film states they've been married for 10 years and I believe it. Robert Beltran performance as Raoul is a bit stereotypical but he still manages to make it work.
The rest of the cast is all solid and if they're not they don't stay very long. The real gold in this movie though is its writing. It can be laugh out loud funny and subtle in any scene delivered perfectly.
The film is rather short at 83 minutes but its never dull for a moment. If you're a fan of dark humor and independent films "Eating Raoul" will serve up plenty of entertainment.
