'Fresh' review: Craving a sharp, stylish satire? Bon Appétit.

When the title of “Fresh” pops up onscreen some 30-ish minutes into its expertly-paced runtime, the bold letters do exactly what they are meant to do: let the audience know that the movie has finally started.

The opening act of director Mimi Cave’s assured, darkly comic debut feature immediately puts the viewer in the position of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Here's film critic Allison Shoemaker's review.
