Eating Raoul Reviews

Paul Bartel's Eating Raoul is about lurid sex, murder, cannibalism and greed. It's also the best comedy of the fall season.

| Apr 27, 2018

Made on a non-existent budget, here is a kick right in Hollywood's bloated butt.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 13, 2017

Nicely lays out capitalism on the chopping block. In an obsessively consumptive culture like America's, the only way for a common couple to strive is through killing, then consuming.

Despite the consistency of the film's droll take on murder and mayhem, it still feels oddly uneven and skimpy, as if there just isn't quite enough meat on its narrative bones.

Bartel's cult classic paved the way for many rude satires about sex, murder, and cannibalism.

Problem is, it's so laid-back it eventually gets monotonous. If the style and pacing had been as outrageous as the subject matter, we might have had something really amazing here.

The acting duo of Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel deliver a nonchalant comedic style of delivery, this odd matter-of-factly placidness in a sea of mayhem abounding...Read on->

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 6, 2004

Eating Raoul is a lively black comedy about the aftershocks of the sexual revolution in America.

| Feb 4, 2004

It's hard to resist this sardonically riotous black comedy, even if you know the ingredients in the gourmet meal are disgusting.
