Cherry presents a delicate topic with a sympathetic perspective, but feels amateurish at times.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2023

It's a beautifully written, thoughtful character study of a free spirit in a serious situation.

| Original Score: 4 stars | Jun 2, 2023

This superficially well-crafted movie feels short on substance even at 76 slim minutes. It’s the kind of enterprise in which more thought seems to have gone into the soundtrack than the script.

What gives Cherry life beyond this moment is that central idea of facing change, and realizing that not making a decision is in itself a decision.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2023

Dramatically convincing and enormously entertaining.

Cherry is a great indie dramedy bolstered by Sophie Galibert’s engaging direction and Alex Trewhitt’s breakthrough performance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 19, 2023

A funny, heartfelt, and very human story that reassuringly points out that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to feel lost. It’s okay to get off-track. Most of all, it’s okay to be your own woman.

A wonderfully life-affirming film with a superb performance by Trewhitt.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 14, 2023

What could have been a soul-wrenching inner tug of war is reduced to sitcom twaddle.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 6, 2022

With a realistic mix of drama and some comedy, Cherry presents a memorable portrait of a woman who has just one day to decide what to do about an unplanned pregnancy. As the movie’s title character, Alex Trewhitt gives a captivating performance.
