"This is a record that has really been a soundtrack for life. One of my older brothers had this so I got to hear it really early on when I was about 9. It melded in with the other records I started to hear later on around 79 when I was 15. I had a basis for punk rock, and this was it – Raw Power."

"This is a film that I could deeply personalize with. When making my films Tarnation and the follow-up, Walk Away Renee, I easily recalled this amazing film in my mind’s eye. I have never seen a film depicting mental illness so raw and pure as this. The film is so real that one often feels that they are really, really eavesdropping on something. Amazing."

A web of lies, that draws you in.
An alcoholic father, a cheating wife and a beautiful daughter. What could go wrong?

The depth of the main characters is intriguing. The author really paints a solid picture of the main 2 characters and keeps building.
I felt 'alive' reading this.
It brings so many raw topics to mind. It really has you looking at things differently.

Rolling Stone's 191st greatest album of all time
Still not the Stooges at their Raw Power peak, but this stands out so much when compared to so much of the early 70s rock. Starting to blend from rock and roll / psychedelic rock to what would become punk it is a very good listen and has a key role to play in the development of punk rock.

Raw, emotional, powerful drama
Apart from the fact I love Viggo Mortensen, this film is not one of those violent action films, but actually about a family drama. The story plot may not have been original, however, the dramatic effect it had on the family was powerful and emotional. It really does raise the question how well do you know the people you love? And not in a melodramatic way.

Odd disturbing film
A strange film with not much of a plot or explanation as to what is going on, although some might like this more because of that. It's a very gritty, raw, rather bleak film as a couple of psycho's decide to play some not so funny games with a family in a holiday home. You just need to watch a comedy after to lift your mood!
