“Raw is about discovering your own appetites, your kinks, the secret joys that make you feel full.”—Amy Nicholson, MTV

At 16, Justine is a brilliant, promising student and a strict vegetarian. But when she starts veterinary school, she quickly encounters a decadent, merciless and dangerously seductive world. Desperate to fit in during the first week of hazing rituals, she strays from her principles and eats raw meat for the first time and faces the terrible and unexpected consequences of her actions as her true self emerges. Director Julia Ducournau’s heralded debut touches on themes of sexual awakening and notions of queer identity while upending the gay roommate trope to give her characters fleshed out and nuanced personalities.
