Review of Raw (2017) by Anderson G — 14 May 2018

"Grave" The French film that talks about discovery and sexuality with a metaphorically visceral approach, the desire and discovery by the flesh in "Grave" is literal. The film tells the story of a young vegetarian who after going through a college trot begins to have desires for meat, preferably human.

The script at first glance has a simple look, but it has many layers and different interpretations, some will see a zombie movie in a reduced spectrum, others will see a horror film about cannibals, others a teen vampire film, no interpretation is 100 Wrong%, but "Grave" is not a genre film, it turns more to a drama about youth and discovery, I may not like the way the film goes from the third act, more is indisputable that his argument is great .

With an extremely bluish photograph, and a camera in hand, technically, "Grave" is good, if it uses the subjective camera, does not exaggerate in Gore, it is a heavy film but without being forced, its violence is completely organic, its rhythm can weigh a little, but it is compensated by the magnificent performances of Garace Marillier and Ella Rumpf, who indulge and live their characters intensely, besides a good soundtrack, which combines and gives a special charm to the film.

We can say that the first film of the promising French director Julia Ducournau is a horror movie, a zombie film, a film about the heinousness of heredity, about family, about sexual discovery, it is a film of multiple interpretations that passes away from perfection but grabs merit of being a great movie.
