It often bites off more than it can chew, but American Cherry has enough there to be a thought-provoking and worthy debut.

Rated: 3/5

This is one I would like my time back. Boring, weirdo teen angst. Hard pass.

I thought it was pretty engaging but I didn't care for ending. The ending was kind of abrupt and over the top. Watch if there's nothing else on.

Wow. What a cool film. No bullshit. Clean dialogue. I read a review where the critic said it was sensationalised. FFS. When is it too sensational or boring? The point is the director has made a great, paired down film covering lots of issues. It is easy to be critical, it is hard to create. How many people would make this so stereotypical. A brilliantly done, individual film. So impressive. Marcella Cytrynowicz, you're awesome to be real. Great work. :) I watched this again. An elegant film for the subject matter. LOVE the soundtrack theme. People may not like the intensity, but that doesn't take away that MC is also pushing strong women. Haunting is not the right word. Just intense, and very beautifully done.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
