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

| Mar 21, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2021

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 18, 2021

Not perfect by any means, with many things wrong with it, but Tom Holland's performance pulls you through it, with the genre changing in each different section of his life.

| Mar 16, 2021

Rather than generating excitement, the insistence on momentum at all costs makes the film resemble an endless series of 온라인카지노추천 commercials strung together.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 15, 2021

Good movies have a runtime. Bad movies never end. Cherry is eternal.

| Original Score: D? | Mar 15, 2021

"Cherry" is three movies in one, none of them fresh, all of them overlong.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 15, 2021

Holland shows us, in one small scene, this movie's otherwise missing-in-action soul. But there's not much he can do about its tedium.

| Mar 13, 2021

The movie is so overbearingly high on its own fizzy, clever stylishness that it strands the heart of its own story. And it strands otherwise interesting actors, like Holland, Ciara Bravo, and Jack Reynor

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 12, 2021

Cherry makes you wonder what [Tom Holland], and the Russos, think they have to prove.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 12, 2021

Tom Holland, of Spider-man fame, breathes dramatic fire as a PTSD-afflicted Army medic in Iraq who returns home to rob banks to feed his drug habit, but his glossy, overlong film is failed Oscar bait that drowns him in dreary addiction cliches.

| Mar 12, 2021

"Cherry" is highly watchable - it's never dull - but it's difficult to believe, especially in the way it treats its bank robbery scenes.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 12, 2021

The problem in Cherry is a gross miscalibration of scale... In bringing the book to the screen, the filmmakers have gone for blockbuster effects at the expense of bandwidth.

| Mar 12, 2021

Cherry's decision making at the end is very cool visually, but hard to understand and never explained.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 11, 2021

For all its familiarity, Cherry could just be renamed American Truism. Just it's a story we've seen a hundred times before doesn't mean it's any less poignant, pointed, or real.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 11, 2021

A vehement, heartfelt film...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 11, 2021

An ambitious and topical drama, though its point is far from clear.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 11, 2021

Cherry might represent a drastic shift in scale, tone and subject matter for its directors and leading man alike, but there's a blockbuster-sized gap where its point should be.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 11, 2021

The strange marriage of the Russos and their material can... be fascinating.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2021

As commendable and even brave as much of "Cherry" is, it suffers from diminishing returns as it becomes clear that what made Walker's book great wasn't the plot and characters, but the writing itself.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 10, 2021
