We treat our fellow humans like garbage, especially in those younger years but the fact is, we never escape that cycle of torment we put on eachother.
I don't think raw is perfect, not every character feels like an actual character but i think for a directorial debute there is a lot to chew on, especially thematically.
Every performance is great and as we see the unraveling of our main character being a cannibal, we realizes that they and everyone else already were cannibals.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral, deeply uncomfortable coming-of-age story that uses body horror and cannibalism as metaphor for the violent emergence of desire and self-discovery. It's the kind of film that will sit with you, and maybe turn your stomach, long after it ends.
