Fresh REVIEW – A Full-Course Horror
Two people meet up and have a great time. That’s not what happens in real life. No more are dates and romance based on a chance meeting. Modern dating is mainly done through dating apps. If you like the look of someone, you can swipe right and strike up a conversation. Maybe things will be so promising that you decide to meet up in person.
You will only be able to tell if there is something, thereby meeting them in person. It can be exhausting to feel hope, only to have it all shattered by someone who doesn’t fit you. The unspoken danger is that we don’t talk enough about it. These people are almost strangers, and many scammers and con artists are trying to make quick money on these apps. Some would do you harm.
Mimi Cave’s Fresh explains that while the dating game can be challenging, it is much more difficult for women partnered with men. A man can physically overwhelm a woman with minimal effort if he chooses to. Women often have trouble saying no and expressing their discomfort due to their fear of displeasing the man. There’s also the worry of what might happen if they do.
Fresh is a nightmare come true: To go into things with stars in your eyes and only to find the horrifying reality of something different it’s genuinely terrifying. Noa (Daisy Edgar Jones) meets Steve (Sebastian Stan), at a grocery shop. He’s everything she needs in a man. He is handsome, witty and funny, and there’s chemistry. However, something is a bit off. Steve is a little too assertive, too eager to get to know her after just five minutes. There is enough information in the world to be aware that we need to be cautious about attractive strangers. But it can sometimes be difficult when it’s someone such as Sebastian Stan.
Stan is an example of a genius casting person. He has a rare combination of charm, confidence, and good looks. Noa sees himthroughnesss eyesHe’ss irresistible. This is probably why she disregards her friend Mollie (JojoT. Gibbs) and the red flags. Fresh clarifies that violence against women is not something committed by just a few, but an entire system. We must be seen as agents, people with needs, wants and feelings and not as objects to be discarded.
Although the ending of Freshisn’tt as complicated and nuanced as the rest of the film, it is still well-crafted and genuinely horrifying. The soundscape was terrific and kept my attention throughout. It’ss amazing how many of the 70s and 80s songs about love were repurposed into scenes, not about love. It reminded me of AmericanPsycho’ss use of popular songs. Characters who believe they are sophisticated and educated but lean towards violence, savagery, and so on.
I am a huge Peter Cetera fan. Restless Heart will never be the same to me again.
