Cherry: Tom Holland reunites with MCU directors Joe & Anthony Russo on Apple TV but it's grim

Today's movie review is courtesy of Cherry, available to stream on Apple TV. Joe and Anthony Russo reteam with MCU's Spider-man Tom Holland, but this is no super hero movie. Cherry is bleak, it's grim, it's hard to watch. But should you?
Cherry drifts from college dropout to army medic in Iraq - anchored only by his true love, Emily. But after returning from the war with PTSD, his life spirals into drugs and crime as he struggles to find his place in the world.
Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Stars: Tom Holland, Ciara Bravo, Jack Reynor
Apparently the man’s name is Cherry. Let’s just deal with that and move on.
Cherry (Tom Holland) is a bit of a drifter. Too heartbroken for college, he joins the army instead, and predictably hates it pretty thoroughly. As a medic, he sees all the worst stuff, so even when he returns home to true love/new wife Emily (Ciaro Bravo), life isn’t exactly perfect. Riddled with PTSD, life unravels, and pretty soon both Cherry and Emily are coping with heroine. As you may be aware, nothing good has ever happened on heroine. Nothing. Best case scenario, you end up robbing banks to support your habit. Which, coincidentally, is exactly what happens to Cherry.
One bad decision after the next, it’s hard to watch Cherry spiral down a hole you know he won’t come out of. Worse, he takes Emily down with him.
Cherry is a great showcase for Tom Holland, who gets to stretch and show range as a once bright and promising kid who gets swallowed up by the convergence of two of the 21st Century’s greatest epidemics. Unfortunately, it’s a less impressive effort from Holland’s frequent MCU directors, Joe and Anthony Russo. Is Cherry over-directed? It may be the case; it definitely feels a bit style over substance. The cinematography is great and movie lovers will have no problem picking out references to other movies, but the truth is, Cherry doesn’t offer a lot that’s new. Sean felt he was watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, minus the humour. I felt like they were aiming for something more intimate, but after years of success in the Marvel universe, the Russos are perhaps a little rusty at delivering a more character-centric film. They drive the film with constant momentum but never pause long enough to drum up pathos or empathy. It’s at least 3 different movies stuffed into the bloated corpse of just one, with a run time to prove it.
This movie has some merit, but not enough to justify itself.

[@jackanddan]

Thanks for the review kind of tired of this whole thing this is what I do every day for work and have for 30 years dealing with this exact character right here it is very very hard but we fight for them and we do our best and that’s all we can do but like Sean said the best thing is for it to just stop or simply not gonna solve these problems and there’s no point in trying not at this cost

[@amyyflowerrs]

Wow, I didn't think this movie would be so dark!! I think i might check it out 🤔

[@lifewithlois7262]

Hi Jay 💕 Sean Watching now

[@BonedaddyToo]

Will probably pass. But great to see you two!

[@4cryingoutloud604]

Like 35. Thanks for the review. Yeah, aside from the health issues - drugs has to be an extremely expensive addiction. I have tried diet Pepsi a couple of times. I just can't seem to enjoy it. I love the regular Pepsi though. For me, there is a difference between Pepsi and Coke. I far prefer Pepsi.

😂 at his name being Cherry. He joins the army after the breakup 😂 PTSD is no joke. So sorry to hear he got hooked on heroin. Bank robbing to support their habit. This sounds sad. 😂 but it is quite interesting. FW & have a great day.
