violence | Strong and realistic depictions of violence and gore are featured in the film, albeit justified by context. The central theme of the film revolves around Justine, a vegetarian, who gradually discovers her cannibalistic tendency after she is forced to consume meat. The strongest scene depicts the main character nibbling on a human finger, leaving behind blood stains around her mouth. In another scene, Justine wakes up next to a dead man whose thigh is partially chewed through with raw flesh and bone exposed. As these scenes depict gory details of injuries, they would be more appropriate for a strictly adult audience. |
profanity | There is the use of the expletive "f**k" in the film throughout. |
frightening | 'Raw' is a French drama that revolves around Justine, a bright student, a believer in animal rights and a vegetarian, who has just enrolled into a veterinary school.
