Fresh is a Horror Comedy film directed by Mimi Cave. It screened at Sundance before being picked up by Disney for a release on March 4, 2022 on Hulu.Millennial orphan Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) has trouble finding a likeable man. Her friend Mollie (Jonica T. Gribbs) encourages her to be more outgoing, and when she runs into handsome and charming cosmetic surgeon Steve (Sebastian Stan), she goes for it and lets him take her to his cottage for the weekend, only for Steve to reveal he has a...very particular appetite. And then things go wrong. So, so, wrong.Not to be confused with Fresh. | |

| Fresh (2022) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Paul. He arrives at the cabin in the middle of the woods just as the girls are escaping and Steve is shooting at them. Unfortunately, he misses them, as he remembers what happens when a black guy in a movie tries to enter the abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere after hearing gunshots, and he drives away. | |

| Fresh (2022) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Unlike Paul, who realizes just in time that he's in a horror movie, Noa firmly believes she's in a romantic comedy and misses or ignores all the red flags until it's too late. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Brendan Steven "Steve" Kemp. Noa, albeit only to gain her captor's trust. She's sickened by it in private. A number of elites, or "the 1% of the 1%" as one character describes it. Presumably Ann, since he married her. | |

Immediate Self-Contradiction: Steve implies that he's a vegetarian by saying he "doesn't eat animals" — not something you hear from people who are vegetarian for their health — then follows it up by more-or-less demanding that Noa finish her meat. | |

| Fresh (2022) / int_23781532 | comment |
Ironic Name: When she first tries human meat, Steve tells Noa that the person they're eating was named Hope, and points out the irony. The next dinner date, Noa asks who they're eating, and he replies "Melissa", which is the name of a woman two cells down who has stopped singing to herself lately, so to hide her horror Noa bursts out laughing and declares that she expected the trope to be at work in that she was named "Joy" or something. | |

Missing White Woman Syndrome | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_237f7eeb | comment |
Missing White Woman Syndrome: Invoked by Paul when he argues that Mollie might have a chance at getting real help from the police because Noa is white. Mollie disagrees, feeling she has too little evidence to be taken seriously as a black woman. Played With by the plot. Steve's surviving victims are two white women, one black woman, and one Asian woman, but his trophy wall (and his walk-in freezer) indicate that most of his victims have been white women, and the vast majority didn't survive or get noticed in their absence. | |

Hollywood Healing: Although Steve is a doctor so Noa is on a lot of painkillers, she's still able to walk around, sit down, and go down on him after she's had her ass cut off. Steve recovers equally quickly after Noa bites off his penis and then still manages to go outside and attack the women. | |

Killed Offscreen: Noa is imprisoned while two other women are also being held captive: Penny and Melissa, the latter of whom has already lost her mind. Later, it's indicated Melissa has died since Steve feeds some of her meat to Noa and Noa makes no attempt to free Melissa late in the movie when she gets access to the doors. | |

Central Theme | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Misogyny. The film opens with the frame of dating gone bad with an asshole who tells Noa she should be more feminine and pretty, and then centers on Steve, a predator who literally commodifies women's bodies as meat and who participates in pettier misogyny (he asks Noa to smile for him in a dire situation, invoking a common sexist microaggression). The film ends with Steve's female victims all rescuing themselves through their teamwork and support, with their male ally, Paul, leaving the scene without confirming they're there to avoid becoming a victim himself. The film also illustrates how women can participate in misogynist oppression through Ann, a partially-cannibalized victim of Steve's who works with him from time to time for his cannibal network, and Mollie explicitly declares that women like her are the problem. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Noa is a word that means "freed from taboo", and she had better be, the way she goes about saving her and her friends' lives by playing along with Steve's cannibal obsession. Brendan means "prince" or "king", while Steven means "crown" or "wreath", and he is a narcissist to boot. Mollie can mean "rebellious", a trait which comes in handy when the police won't look for your kidnapped friend so you have to do it yourself. It can also mean "bitter", and she is the most cynical character. Paul means "small", and he is the only one to shrink from a confrontation instead of trying to save someone's life. Penny is usually short for Penelope, the woman who is famous for sitting at home waiting for her man to return. Penny lives a sinister version of this. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Noa takes a picture of Steve while he sleeps, hinting that she's a bit of a creep. She sends it to Mollie, who points out that it's a creepy thing to do. A few scenes later, it turns out she is not the creep in this relationship, when Steve roofies her and chains her to his basement wall. When Noa bites his penis off, she smears something white in Steve's face. It is natural to assume that this is semen, but a brief shot of a tube of toothpaste lying on the floor proves that assumption wrong. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Stalker with a Crush: Despite only pretending to be this, Steve sometimes ends up liking his victims in a romantic way, such as his wife Ann, Noa herself, and the woman who wrote in the fashion magazine, as well as any who saw that note before Noa. | |

Sex Equals Love | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_8ca9bf12 | comment |
Sex Equals Love: Steve seduces women to get them to come to his cabin alone, but it's more or less stated he doesn't have sex with all of them. When Noa asks him why he had sex with her, he tells her that he "likes" her, and so begins his apparent genuine affection for her. | |

| Fresh (2022) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When she takes him home, Noa asks if she can get Steve anything to drink — or eat? Steve, who just turned down sex, replies: "No, just you". When Noa is having short ribs, Steve declines trying some because he doesn't eat "animals", and is suspiciously eager to see Noa eat a lot. | |

DidNotThinkThisThrough | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_b773ec0e | comment |
Did Not Think This Through: Noa's first attempt at escape is just her panicking and trying to break steel chains with her own strength, but then her first planned escape attempt is still just trying to break the steel chains and run away. Mollie suspects that the man whose house she is in has kidnapped her friend. She tests her theory by calling her Noa's phone. It rings in his pocket, just like she thought it might, confirming her theory...but also immediately endangering her, resulting in Steve and Ann knocking her out immediately after. For Steve, letting a woman he thinks is a budding cannibal go down on him is a ballsy move to say the least. | |

Zig-Zagged by Noa, who had genuine feelings for Steve before she found out who he really was. She then pretends to be developing sincere feelings for him as she's aware of his feelings for her, but it's all a lie so she can get into a position where she can bite his penis off. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: While Mollie and Noa discuss Noa's love life, they mention being "indoctrinated" about men by Ariel and Belle. Penny thinks it's unlikely that she's hallucinating Noa, because she doesn't think her subconscious would have named her imaginary friend "Noa", but rather Sean Connery. The ending has Steve go full Jack Torrance. | |

Trust Password | |
| Fresh (2022) / int_cafdaf4e | comment |
Trust Password: Invoked. Mollie gets suspicious someone else is texting her on Noa's phone when her message of "Love you" gets a heart emoji instead of "love you more". "Love you" "Love you more" is an exchange that was established twice before as a regular back-and-forth between the two women, so the text not following this pattern gets Mollie concerned. | |

Played With by the plot. Steve's surviving victims are two white women, one black woman, and one Asian woman, but his trophy wall (and his walk-in freezer) indicate that most of his victims have been white women, and the vast majority didn't survive or get noticed in their absence. | |
