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

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.

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

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.

Audience Reviews for Eating Raoul
-
Dec 08, 2013A very well known cult film that follows a married couple as they are shafted numerous times and must "adapt" to their situation in order to open their dream restaurant. Wow this is some black humor and is both disturbing, hilariously absurd, and offers some social commentary as well. You really just have to see it in order to know the absurdity and hilariousness of Eating Raoul. Of course it is rated R for some expected sexual content and nudity as well as language and other adult material.Chris B Super Reviewer

Sep 26, 2012It seems that almost by accident Bartel made a great satire about the absurd ways that Americans perceive themselves and their hypocritical views of sexuality and violence. Its basically a Bunuel film by way of a screwball comedy . . . and just a touch of Sweeney Todd.Alec B Super Reviewer

Sep 25, 2010A very funny cult movie, I really liked it, the story is really good too.The only thing I didn't really like was the ending, but still, I highly recommend it.Aj V Super Reviewer

Jan 11, 2009Not bad for low budget, cannibalistic, 80's film-making where the highlight is a short erotic scene and the biggest star is Ed Begley, Jr.Randy T Super Reviewer
