Director Mimi Cave's directorial debut 'Fresh' puts Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones in a horrific take on modern dating. Our review of the Sundance2022 film:
Much has been said when it comes to the realm of modern dating. Romance is dead, love is manufactured, people put on a persona. Many long for the "old days" of bumping into someone at a bar or a party or, in Noa's case, at the grocery store. Noa is your average young person trying to navigate the dating scene today.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Except, while Fresh has both romance and comedy elements, it is most firmly placed in the horror category, and it takes a very sharp turn for our hero, Noa. What seems to be the perfect courtship is turning into the relationship of nightmares. In a story about control, domination, and consumption, director Mimi Cave offers up an exciting new twist on a familiar story.
There are many elements of Fresh that hardly fit its namesake. The trope of charming guy turned twisted killer is a tale as old as time, and any true-crime aficionado knows there is truth to the fiction. The take on the exhaustion of modern romance is similarly familiar ground; most sitcoms and dramedies today have something to say about the perils and annoyances of Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble.
Edgar-Jones is impressive, and as the stakes get higher, so does the cat-and-mouse game between her and Steve. As she formulates a plan, Edgar-Jones adds layers to her performance. At times, it's hard to tell what is the truth and what isn't, which feeds into both the themes of the film and the impressiveness of her talent.
