If You Are Looking For A Film That’s Fresh AND Kills, Look No Further Than “Fresh Kills”

If you’re looking for a masterclass in filmmaking, look no further than Jennifer Esposito’s “Fresh Kills.” This film is nothing short of transformative. I was completely unprepared for the emotional tidal wave it unleashed—I found myself crying for nearly an hour after the credits rolled! The characters and their dialogue strike such a deep chord; it feels more authentic and grounded than any other film I’ve encountered. Seriously, that’s not an exaggeration.

What makes this film so extraordinary is how it breathes new life into a familiar narrative. The tale of a mobster’s rise and fall is one we all know, but Esposito delivers it through a refreshing lens—focusing on the complexities of family and the female perspective. Through the character of Rose, I found a profound connection, even though I wasn’t raised in a mob family. Her emotional breakdown in the car? That moment hit me like a truck.

The performances are nothing short of brilliant, with unexpected twists and heart-wrenching moments that’ll leave you reeling. Prepare yourself for an ending that’s truly gut-wrenching. Jennifer Esposito has proven herself as an exceptional filmmaker and screenwriter, and I genuinely can’t wait to see what she concocts next. I even had the chance to share my thoughts with her, which felt surreal! “Fresh Kills” is a must-watch that will linger with you long after it’s over.
