Possesses some very fine moments complete with great performances, particularly from Hinshaw.

When a guilty perv is all a film has to offer by way of a protagonist then it's probably in the best interests of us all if it doesn't exist.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 4, 2013

almost laughably unsexy

| Nov 11, 2012

Rather shockingly lacking in dynamic plotting, the film descends into mystifying incomprehensibility in its final reels, showing a lack of understanding of basic human motivations.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 8, 2012

So much of About Cherry is meant to titillate and dramatize but never humanize.

| Original Score: 2.0/5.0 | Oct 5, 2012

Dramas about the porn industry range from expressions of puritanical rage to celebrations of open sexuality; this one manages to avoid both extremes, as well as anything else that might make it worth watching.

Here is a movie that suggests prostitution is something that just sort of happens to you, like Lyme disease.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 4, 2012

Flimsy and fetishized, it delivers little more than a hackneyed skin flick.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 25, 2012

| Sep 21, 2012

This is just a slow-moving skin flick broken up by lots of boring discussions about Cherry's future.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 21, 2012

The fatal flaw ... is its refusal to examine Angelina's occupation from outside the bubble. You might even call it a recruitment film.

Everything here is done badly.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Sep 20, 2012

A muddled, inconsequential journey of a surprisingly unsympathetic character and her hazy ride to the top of the porno food chain.

| Original Score: D | Sep 20, 2012

It has a didactic undercurrent, making its main character into a beautiful blank, ready to blossom under the bright camera lights and to be unabashed in the face of the unenlightened.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 20, 2012

It's pornography bathed in the tangerine glow of fruit-scented candlelight.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 19, 2012

About Cherry only manages to seem inconsequential.

| Sep 18, 2012

The lack of plausible conflict mars the movie's highly commendable depiction of San Francisco as a the new porn capital.
