FRESH
(March 2022)
You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am a possession
Unopened at your feet…
-- “Obsession”
Animotion
“You do not need a man, okay? Or anybody, for that matter.
It’s just… the way we’ve been raised since f*ckin’ Disney movies.”
“Yeah. F*ck Ariel.”
“F*ck her. Stupid b!tch left the whole sea for a man. Come
on, now.”
Noa (Daisy
Edgar-Jones) is definitely not a
skilled player at the dating game, so much so that she tells herself she’s “very
okay with” being alone.
But then…
One meet-cute at the
grocery later, and “cute” and “funny” Steve (Sebastian Stan) is suddenly in her
life.
Despite initial
appearances and that opening stretch of pre-credits runtime though, this isn’t
some random rom-com--that key art should be the tip off, right?--and Noa will
ultimately have even more reasons to
hate dating… if she survives “cute”
and “funny” Steve’s attentions…
“… if it’s done right… it’s f*cking exquisite. It’s like
nothing you’ve ever had before…”
Fresh is director Mimi
Cave’s feature film debut, off a script by Lauryn Kahn, and this was a
surprisingly gruesome title, with some serious teeth.
And a number of…
wait for it… dance montages!
Plus the Yeah Yeah
Yeahs burning up the end credits roll…
What more can you
ask for?
This is some
seriously twisted sh!t, no lie, so be prepared…
“You know how I knew you were special? ‘Cause you’re f*cked
up, too.”
I feed you, I drink you
By day and by night…
I need you, I need you
By sun and candlelight
