Dopo Raw, un altro pugno nello stomaco da parte di Julia Ducournau. It left me feeling queasy and a bit trembly for hours. Cannes 2021, Titane, recensione del film di Julia Ducournau. This is a film that doesn’t just put you through the wringer it scrapes your insides out and puts them through a spiraliser. You can’t tear your eyes away but at same time you want to squeeze them shut. Reviews Raw Christy Lemire MaTweet Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch On International Women’s Day, it seems only fitting to write a review of Raw, a horror film about a brilliant but innocent teenage girl who finally lets loose and asserts her true identity as a cannibal. Watching ‘Raw’ is a bit like seeing a toddler crawl along a four-lane motorway. Ducournau turns even the most innocuous scene into an unnerving endurance test – a Brazilian wax is more gruesome than a hoard of mutant zombies.

No ambulances were required when I saw it, but there was lots of nervous giggling before the film and plenty of yelps of horror during. Have you got what it takes to sit through ‘Raw’?
