This is explored through cannibalism (there is also no point beating around the bush, considering the advertising is heavily selling Fresh this way).ĭaisy Edgar-Jones’ Noa takes a break from online dating to pursue a grocery aisle meet-cute with awkwardly charming and handsome plastic surgeon Steve (Sebastian Stan). Fresh is amateurishly written, filled with convenient writing, plot inconsistencies, illogical character motivations, and most offensively, considering this is first and foremost a social commentary horror movie, rarely elicits dread.

Let’s meet the movie halfway my personal feelings offset whatever the filmmakers are serving up. More to the point, fuck that I have my own unflattering stories of using online dating services, but I’ve also gotten to know some incredible people there I still regularly talk to. One could also go a step further and take it as saying straight hopeful romantic women clinging onto the prospect of finding something sincere and wonderful and meaningful should give up because heterosexual dating is only a bunch of Chads, which is the gross date character’s name because that’s how unsubtle the jokes are here. It seems to be saying that this abusive situation would have never developed had the heroine decided to go on another date with an unmannered, offputting douche. However, Fresh gets so far stuck up its ass that a final punchline zinger comes across like victim shaming. To be fair, given stranger than fiction documentaries like The Tinder Swindler readily available on Netflix and no doubt a plethora of negative personal experiences to pull from, there’s also nothing wrong with taking that system down a peg, especially when it comes to the swaths of undesirable men outnumbering women on the various social applications. The horrors of modern dating seen through one young woman’s defiant battle to survive her new boyfriend’s unusual appetites.įresh plays out like director Mimi Cave (primarily known for shorts and music videos, making her feature-length debut) and screenwriter Lauryn Kahn (also experienced with shorts, although with a feature-length script already to her name) are ready to burn down the entire enterprise of online dating.
