Review of Raw (2017) by Dante H — 16 Mar 2017
I guarantee you, Ingrid Newkirk, the brain dead nitwit CEO of PETA will equate this film with an ISIS video of a beheading. Newkirk of PETA, when asked, equated the life of a cockroach with that of your first born.
Ms. Newkirk also said that chickens BBQ'd each year were equivalent to the extermination of Jews and others during WW II-she called it Holocaust on Your Plate-not kidding. Anywho-where to begin? Disneyesque-this is not! Justine is the younger sister of Alexia who is already in vet school.
The family of two girls, mom and dad are vegetarians, devoted vegetarians. At a routine lunch Justine finds a portion of meat in her mashed potatoes. She spits it out, but the porky DNA has grabbed her.
Off she goes to vet school which is a combo of a rave nightclub, animal experiment facility and millennial torture chamber for first year vet students. But Justine has tasted flesh...now what to do? Twisted, creepy, seductive, bizarre are only a few of the descriptors that apply.
The denouement suggests that Alexis was contaminated, which was transferred to her younger sister and as cannibals ask, who's for dinner. The critics loved this, I'm just not quite sure what to make of this film, it's not vegan, that's for sure.
Cinema dine at your own peril, and don't forget a toothpick for those hard to reach bits of flesh.
