FREYA (2020) User Reviews

What a dystopia

[TheStonePan · 9/10 · 7 July 2022]

This movie could have been a "Black Mirror" episode, it surely has the style and works like one: Heaven at the beginning; digital assistants, electronic body implants, everything at your fingertips (or command) - and one fatal mistake later you experience all the downsides of these shiny digital augments. The assistant's health tips turn into a health dictatorship and all the escape routes are carefully blocked by the government who instantly calls you to give you a warning as soon as you try one. All delivered by a tremendous cast on stylish sets and top-notch camera work and lighting.

I'm just wondering if Jade got her job back after her manager suggested she might be fired to have ample time for her new task.

FREYA - Sci-Fi Meets Motherhood

[BlackbirdFilmFest · 10/10 · 8 July 2021]

Camille Hollett-French's short film, FREYA is brilliant to its core and is one of those films that will stick with you for years to come. With a tremendous performance from Rhona Rees (Jade) and a subtle-yet-powerful script, FREYA places viewers in the not-to-distant future and gives a glimpse of what a "smart-life" might look like when it comes to relationships, health, surveillance and control - all while also addressing issues of women's rights and government interference. In short, FREYA is sheer brilliance and an ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH for all. It stands as a true testament to Camille's directorial style and vision!
