Cherry
WHY
After offering us epic confrontations between superheroes (Avengers: Endgame), the Russo brothers take us into a gripping descent into hell with Tom Holland in their new film, Cherry. It is a very intimate and personal film that they offer us! Their directing is very inventive as the fact of dehumanizing bank employees by putting them in the shade or a superb long continuous shot in a car. The story is carried by an impressive Tom Holland with whom we will follow his character through several periods of his life. And as much to say it will not be of any rest especially the military period and its aberrant and stultifying process of training of the soldiers. The confrontation with the reality of war is terrible and the character will not come out unscathed. This is shown very well with his addiction to drugs to forget the events of the war. The real descent into hell will start from this moment and his difficulties to find money to pay his doses. And his friends are not really the best help he can hope to have. The chemistry between Tom Holland and Ciara Bravo is magnificent and gives us some very touching moments especially at the beginning of their relationship. Don’t miss this excellent dramatic film!
WHAT
“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.
