"Cherry" follows the wild journey of a disenfranchised young man from Ohio who meets the love of his life, only to risk losing her through a series of bad decisions and challenging life circumstances. Inspired by the best-selling novel of the same name, "Cherry" features Tom Holland in the title role as an unhinged character who drifts from dropping out of college to serving in Iraq as an Army medic and is only anchored by his one true love, Emily (Ciara Bravo). When Cherry returns home a war hero, he battles the demons of undiagnosed PTSD and spirals into drug addiction, surrounding himself with a menagerie of depraved misfits. Draining his finances, Cherry turns to bank robbing to fund his addiction, shattering his relationship with Emily along the way. Brought to the screen in bold, gritty fashion by visionary directors Anthony and Joe Russo, "Cherry" is a darkly humorous, unflinching coming-of-age story of a man on a universal quest for purpose and human connection.

Critics Consensus

It's certainly stylish and it offers Tom Holland a welcome opportunity to branch out, but Cherry's woes stem from a story that's too formulaic to bowl anyone over.

Audience Says

You'll need to settle in for a long ride, but the Russos' unique visual style and great acting from Tom Holland and Ciara Bravo make Cherry a hard-hitting story about PTSD and addiction.

What an absolute mess of superficially explored themes about addiction and America.

Not even the emotional depth or compassion Tom Holland imbues his unnamed character can save Cherry. Only a ruthless editor that would've been willing to cut 60 minutes out of it could have.

Rated: 2/5

Holland flings himself into the role, and sweats desperation every second. But the Russos undermine him at every turn...

Holland is excellent and shows he can handle prestige drama just as well as he can handle a Spiderman costume, but even his eminently watchable performance can’t lift Cherry above the ranks of a fairly average drama, which is a shame...

Cherry is the latest example of why some books aren't adaptable for the big screen.

Cherry is an indisputable mess, but it hangs on due to a captivating first half, a career-best performance from Tom Holland, and an overall well-shot film.

The film is a wild experience, seemingly composed of different facets of a dramatic life. It starts with an average, perhaps somewhat bleak youth, transitions into a great love, goes through the cruelties of military service in Iraq, and ultimately ends in drug addiction. I really, really liked the film and would recommend it at any time.

This film hits hard because of addiction. Grown up with it around me but it’s not only this aspect that made me cry at the end, it’s the way emotions can be said by just a single camera shot. Beautiful all around. Almost better than beautiful boy, and that was a great film. 1000/5 !!!!!!

What an incredibly moving film. The creative visuals enhanced this with such effect. It made me so sad. Those moments where they find happiness made me incredibly happy. I hope they make it work.

The Novel is an absolute masterpiece. Unfortunately the film does not follow the novels narrative. Everything past the 3rd act is its own thing. I wouldn't say it's a terrible film. It has some merits, but not many.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
