Fresh Reviews
Daisy and Sebastian were able to shine in their depictions of strangers-to-lovers – delivering chilling scenes through their intoxicating relationship and bringing a sense of vulnerability and poise to their roles, respectively.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2024
“Fresh” is a stylish, uncompromising, and surprisingly artistic depiction of endemic exploitation, the ubiquity of toxic masculinity, and perseverance.

Watch it for the great performances, but don’t expect to be blown away.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2023
A raw, nasty, horrifying, but electrifying. A spiraling thriller that continues to twist all the way up to the end. Daisy Jones is INCREDIBLE & Sebastian Stan turns in his best performance yet.

Mimi Cave delivers an extraordinarily captivating, assertive directorial debut; taking Lauryn Kahn's original, gruesome screenplay to the next level (...) holding all of the characteristics to become a cult classic.
| Original Score: A- | Jul 23, 2023
The writing is never offensively straightforward either, yet there are times the script veers toward middle-of-the-road in the face of such an unusual premise and outcome.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 23, 2023
Fresh is an outlandish comedy-thriller that exposes the exaggerated horrors of dating in the digital age. It balances its dark, satirical humor with a lighthearted romance angle and carries unsettling and unpredictable turns throughout.

Mimi Cave’s Hulu horror movie Fresh gives us a new version of the All-American Monster.
| Original Score: A | Feb 18, 2023
Fresh is about the horrors of dating as a young woman...that itching feeling that something could go wrong, the urge to text someone the address, and the imaginary escape route planned while feigning a smile.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 6, 2023
Fresh may be a little messy at times but it does not detract from this delectable debut from Cave and a solid screenplay from Kahn.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jan 4, 2023
"While the execution leaves room for minor improvements, Fresh is a highly commendable debut."

The ultimate meat-cute... Fresh is wild, wicked and deliciously entertaining. Just don’t see it on a first date, or else there likely won’t be a second.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 13, 2022
Deliciously sinister and delectably unhinged. Sebastian Stan has never been more sizzlingly hot and Daisy Edgar-Jones gives a raw, unguarded, and toothsome performance.
| Original Score: A+ | Aug 23, 2022
Undercooked, overseasoned.
| Aug 8, 2022
Fresh offers the kinds of laughs that make you break off in the middle as you realize where the humor resides. You'll either love it or hate it.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 29, 2022
Edgar-Jones’s Noa taps hidden reserves of pluck as she fights for her survival against her deranged captor. She’s a horror heroine you root for all the way to the bloody end.
| Jul 27, 2022
Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan star in this dark comedy-horror that’s subtextually about toxic relationships and the commodification of women, but on the surface is about a relationship with a quirky cannibal gone wrong.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 26, 2022
It’s an enjoyable movie, with a firm grasp on genre history, some effectively shocking visuals (the freezer, ugh), and a solid cast.

An absolute triumph. [Full review in Spanish]

If you want to see a pretty good rom-com starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan turn into a pretty great satirical horror movie about the commodification of the self through social media and dating apps, point your browser to Disney+ and hit play.
