Raw
Directed by Julia Ducournau
RAW tells the story of a teenage girl who joins her sister at a prestigious veterinary college and is forced to partake in a hazing ritual that sees her defying her vegan upbringing by consuming raw rabbit liver. From here she develops an insatiable desire for flesh – of all types, and what we witness is a coming-of-age like no other, an awakening that is carnal and primal and that takes its central character, and its viewing audience, on a journey that is simultaneously harrowing and beautiful.
When a young vegetarian undergoes a carnivorous hazing ritual at vet school, an unbidden taste for meat begins to grow in her.
Cast: Garance Marillier, Ella Rumpf, Rabah Nait Oufella

The hair barfing scene went on for so long and I was not prepared. Weird and uncomfortable film, I loved it
Genuinely one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen
Loved it, never been so confused and and hungry bin my life, 10\10
Maybe skip if disordered eating is an issue for you, cause that is VERY loud background noise in this movie. That said: I'm not a particularly squeamish person. I've seen plenty of movies with barfing, and gross hair stuff, and hair-barfing, and had no issue with it before, but something about the hair-barfing scene in this actually made me feel a little sick. I loved it. Great soundtrack, beautifully shot, thematically rich, and it even has cannibalism! :D
I've never been so uncomfortable in my life... 10/10
