The absence of moralising and macho posturing gives authenticity and poignancy to the film.

A gripping story of survival on the streets and survival of the soul.
April 21, 2015
The script by writer-director Boaz Yakin is fresh itself, marrying the physical violence of Fresh's world with the intellectual violence of competitive chess.
April 21, 2015
A hugely underrated crime drama, Fresh is worth discovering both for its air of authenticity and Sean Nelson's remarkable performance.

[Fresh is] made with a subtle precision that suggests a Vermeer landscape of the ninth circle of hell.

The movie's two instincts are at complete odds with each other.
April 21, 2015
Glibly shocking, it would like you to think it deals with the hard realities of urban life, but in fact it uses its patina of social consciousness as a come-on for the most conventional kind of violent commercial filmmaking.
April 21, 2015
It's rigorous and quite depressing fare.
April 21, 2015
This is kept alive largely through its first-rate performances, beginning with Sean Nelson's as the boy; Giancarlo Esposito is also a standout.
April 21, 2015
The strength of the piece is that it realises which aspects of its genre have been seen too many times, always coming back to Nelson's blank but expressive stare as he watches terrible things the director doesn't need to shove in our faces.
April 21, 2015
Sean Nelson is a quiet revelation as the title character, a child who actively participates in what he regards as the only game in town, yet consistently demonstrates more caution and smarts than his friends or relatives.
April 21, 2015
Fresh appeals to the head as well as the heart.
