Cherry Reviews
Although they bring a wonderful stylishness to Cherry, the Russos can't quite bring it home. There is too much story and not enough substance here.
| Original Score: C | Apr 26, 2024
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.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 24, 2023
Cherry is a commendable film, but certainly not without weaknesses. It is limited by its general air of pessimism and resignation.

A scattershot and overwritten substance abuse drama.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 11, 2022
Cherry is a towering American tragedy, tackling topics like PTSD and the opioid epidemic with earnestness and highlighting Tom Holland’s best work to date.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022
After watching it for 140 long minutes, I was completely indifferent to the characters, their story, and the film as a whole. That’s pretty damning, especially for a movie so sure of itself yet so emotionally hollow.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2022
It’s a decent flick, but Holland earns his stripes.

On the positive side, Tom Holland is a versatile actor with the potential to go in interesting directions once he hangs up his webslinger. On the negative, Cherry is a prime example of what happens when filmmakers fail to reign in their creative impulses.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 1, 2022
Whilst it does seem, on paper, like Cherry could have been something special, the final result is near disaster.

[Cherry] seriously suffers from tonal inconsistency; juggling a growing-up narrative with a half-baked anti-war message. Tom Holland tries his best to balance this stylish but inconsequential outing with a rather misguided but heartfelt performance.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 18, 2021
Aims to dissect the horrors of American addiction, crime, and war. Then it drops its gun, trips on its face, and splatters mud all over the audience. What a mess.

Cherry is an ambitious directorial turn from the Russo Brothers, featuring what may well be the best performance of Tom Holland's career.
| Original Score: 8 | Jun 24, 2021
Cherry's a complete failure: of imagination, of technique, of performance.
| Jun 6, 2021
Despite its lofty aspirations, Cherry is poor in almost every aspect.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Apr 29, 2021
Endgame might be the biggest movie the Russos ever make, but Cherry might be the best.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 22, 2021
Like a scrumptious looking sundae, the visuals are delicious in their appearance, but what lies beyond the aesthetics is just a lot of empty calories topped by a Cherry lacking both meaning and matter.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 13, 2021
I'm impressed by it and fascinated by it...I say you should watch it, for seeing what these creatives are giving us, they're doing something different...
| Original Score: C- | Mar 30, 2021
The film loses your interest as it goes along. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 25, 2021
The Russos carved out the modern notion of heroism for a generation weaned on Iron Man's glowing breast. Cherry proves how much the Russos have learned about heroes, then it deconstructs the contents in each pocket of the cargo pants called male identity.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 24, 2021
