'Chilling' comedy thriller Fresh with Normal People star is your next must-watch

Promising to "upend all romance tropes", the film opens with Noa enduring a disastrous date with a man from an app, who is rude to the waiter, judges her clothes and even eats the food she has to pay for herself.

Her outlook on dating seemingly takes a turn for the better, however, when she meets the "alluring" Steve (Sebastian Stan) at a grocery store. 

The synopsis continues: "Given her frustration with dating apps, Noa takes a chance and gives him her number. 

"After their first date, Noa is smitten and accepts Steve's invitation to a romantic weekend getaway. Only to find that her new paramour has been hiding some unusual appetites." 

It soon becomes clear that Steve has cannibalistic urges and kidnaps women to cut off pieces of their bodies to sell as meat. 

Bringing Noa and Steve to life are Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) and Sebastian Stan (Captain America franchise, I, Tonya). 

Meanwhile, Jojo T. Gibbs (Twenties), Charlotte Le Bon (Anthropoid, The Hundred-Foot Journey), Andrea Bang (Luce) and Dayo Okeniyi (Runner Runner, The Spectacular Now) and Brett Dier (Jane the Virgin) round out the cast.

With an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it's safe to say the film was a hit with critics. 

In its four-star review, The Guardian praised the "thrillingly edge-of-seat" film, writing: "For those who like their dating movies with a bit of gristle, Fresh is a perfect match."  

Meanwhile, Empire Magazine called it "as subtle as a sledgehammer", but noted its "audacious storytelling, full-throated performances and accomplished direction make for a tasty, wildly entertaining concoction."

Pop Culture Reviews added: "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."
