Sundance 2022: 20 Films You Need To Know About

20. Fresh

Easily one of the most buzzed-about films from this year's Sundance, Fresh is a black comedy about the toils of the dating scene, as a woman (Daisy Edgar-Jones) discovers that her seemingly perfectly new boyfriend (Sebastian Stan) comes with quite the catch.

You're certainly better off going into Fresh as, well, fresh as possible, but know that this is a Sebastian Stan performance like he's never given before.

Unafraid to take her unhinged premise to some truly lurid and uncomfortable places, debuting director Mimi Cave wrings every ounce of suspense out of her twisted setup, aided by sharp production values and a strong central performance from lead Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Just campy enough without descending into outright farce, Fresh will have you wincing one minute and laughing out loud the next.

Fresh releases on Hulu on March 4.
