About This Movie

Raw (2024) dives into the psyche of a woman grappling with contamination OCD. The film’s tone is both unsettling and oddly intimate, creating an atmosphere thick with tension. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing us to linger in her anxiety. The boyfriend's misguided attempt to 'cure' her by cooking chicken escalates into a disturbing exploration of trust and vulnerability. The practical effects here are noteworthy; they add a visceral layer to her fears, making them palpable. Performances are raw and real, drawing you into this complicated relationship dynamic. There's a distinctiveness in how it navigates mental health through a lens that marries both drama and a touch of dark humor, which is not something you see every day.
