Fresh

Félelmetes thrilleres, sőt horroros téma, bizarrul fekete humorral fűszerezve. Az elegánsan tálalt emberi hús kóstolónak elemzése, ahogyan azt a filmbeli Hannibálok egyike sem tudna előadni. Ügyes operatőri munkával és egy szimpatikus színésznővel a főszerepben. De a negyedik csillagot nem adok, mert bár az első perctől az utolsóig szórakoztatott, hiányoltam egy összetettebb rendezői szándékot ebben a műfaji és érzésbeli összevisszaságban. (2022.06.19)

A very enjoyable horror comedy driven by the performances of Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones and their chemistry. It doesn't surprise with anything, but the directorial concept is fresh, which was enough to satisfy me this time. (2022.03.31)

Dating is dangerous! A solid romantic psycho-thriller in the Hannibal mode, and mature for a debut. The main character has trouble finding love, dating doesn't work out until the day she meets a nice man in a store (read Winter Soldier!), but she has no idea that he has a rather strange appetite. There's not much to write about the story, but I'll admit that I turned off the trailer out of boredom and it's one of those films I wasn't looking forward to, and as a result it's a spring horror surprise. The film is beautifully shot, with impressive interiors and colours, technically on par, the acting is also solid with the main character having the face of Anne Hathaway, and the atmosphere is awesome with an exploitative feel focusing on psyche rather than violence, but even that comes across to a lesser extent. The plot itself is pretty twisted and refreshing, the film flows well and the ending is decently gritty and suspenseful as well, so I'm satisfied. I was expecting another boring talky drama and got a great cannibal thriller.

A culinary romance for International Women’s Day. Sebastian Stan is dancing in the kitchen, hammering the steaks for dinner... The cute, dating opening changes its tune with the opening credits, turning into a game involving an unusual take on the white slave trade. Daisy Edgar-Jones will have to stomach a couple of things if she wants her new relationship (and herself) to survive. Great music, stylish visuals and great food jokes. The ending is a little predictable, but it doesn’t spoil the aftertaste. (2022.03.09)

This movie presented a bit of a dilemma for me. On one hand, I'm not particularly drawn to scenes of violence against women, so that was a downside. However, on the other hand, I found myself smiling at some of the humor they used. Now, I'm not sure if I'm becoming irreversibly disturbed or if the creators just skillfully targeted us cynical bastards. I'm hoping it's the latter. / Lesson learned: Always ask about the meat's origin. (2022.05.25)
