Film Review – Fresh

Surely the dating scene has always been a horror show, with people trying to find other people in a blur of weirdos and creeps. With apps, the situation has grown more complex, allowing people to zero in on hyper-specific wants, and this craving for perfection is brought to a macabre extreme in “Fresh,” which examines one woman’s experience with a seemingly special guy, learning more about his dangerous desires. Writer Lauryn Kahn (“Ibiza”) and director Mimi Cave are out to create something sinister but also knowing, exploring the preliminary stages of trust in a relationship, while staying aware of the dangers facing females on the hunt for a companion while making their way through a world of constant threats. There’s absolutely nothing in “Fresh” that requires 114 minutes of screen time, but an interesting twist on a bad boyfriend concept awaits those with enough patience to make through this twisted endeavor.
