“Ravenous follows a young woman who has built her world and identity around her daily livestreams, where she voraciously ‘unboxes’ the mountains of products that are delivered to her door. The result is a stunning portrait of contemporary life that hits the sweet spot between comedy and tragedy and leads to an ending that leaves not only the products and characters, but the readers, ‘unboxed’.”
