About
You may like Raw if you enjoy extreme coming-of-age horror and don’t mind unsettling, gory consequences; Not for you if you’re squeamish or want a gentler teen story, and it won’t match the vibe of Yellowjackets or I Saw the TV Glow.
Pros: intensely disturbing; vivid performances; bold coming-of-age | Cons: very graphic; polarizing tone; overwhelming for some
