What critics said
Critics broadly regarded the film as formally striking and thematically ambitious but undermined by an obscure, messy narrative and emotionally cold execution.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Shane and Coré's uncontrollable libidos are directly linked to predatory, cannibalistic violence.
The medical condition, research history, and characters' motivations remain fragmented and metaphorically suggestive.
The film juxtaposes intimate textures, restrained compositions, and shocking acts of bodily violence.
Coré's imprisonment and Shane's struggle reveal competing representations of female and male sexual violence.
Films like Trouble Every Day, and why
The Hunger
erotic horror, transgressive violence, and psychologically alienated characters
Raw
new french extremity aesthetics, bodily transgression, and emotionally detached eroticism
The Neon Demon
stylized cannibalistic horror, sexual menace, and confrontational art cinema
