Crowd-pleasing Gen Z sex farce which manages to gallantly update Araki's wildly inchoate style for modern viewers. The acting is excellent and the humor remains fresh from beginning to end.

22 years after an initial viewing was not enough time to blunt the precise focus and devastating impact of Araki's masterpiece. The first hour in particular is a prime example supreme filmmaking. The central mystery is not strong enough to sustain the established tone once the narrative moves from Kansas to NYC, but the final sequence is so powerful and transcendent that the missteps evaporate from the emotion.

Inciteful and illuminating queer documentary which exhibits uncommon depth of niche information and history. Truly a family affair, the heart poured into the production is evident.

While it is possible that there is a decent film to be made concerning matrilineal cannibalistic veterinarian sisters this is certainly not it. The praise for RAW is baffling, there is hardly an image or thought presented worthy of applause. The film is instead packed with standard-issue faux-intellectual feints at privilege and sexuality, all amounting to and signifying nothing. This is a huge disappointment and missed opportunity; viewers would be much better off watching Cronenberg's RABID, Breillat's ANATOMY OF HELL or Denis' TROUBLE EVERY DAY - all films which better RAW's inept philosophy.
