Cherry (2021) - Review

CW/TW: PTSD and Drug Addiction

Note: This movie was based on a novel of the same name by Nico Walker, which I didn’t know prior to watching the movie, so I don’t/can’t speak to the adaptation aspects of the film.

Cherry (Tom Holland) centers his life around love, loving hard at all costs. This way of existing in the world leads him down paths he never thought he’d take, but he feels he has to commit himself to, whether it be war, drugs or crime, to continue the pursuit of that kind of love.

Last year I got a free 1 year subscription to Apple TV+, but squandered it, as in I didn’t watch a single thing on there. Fast forward to 2022 when the subscription is about to start billing me, I finally decide to at least get one thing out of it before that happens and I chose Cherry.

Everyone was saying that this was Tom Hollands first real “adult” movie, which by that opinion had me intrigued. Going through his filmography though tells me that he is no stranger to the “adult drama” space, however I can see if you’re only watching Spider-Man and Marvel movies, your experience with him might be limited here. That being said, this was the most dramatic thing I’ve personally seen him in recently. (I did watch How I Live Now, several years back, but I can’t remember his character in that movie.) I think he does a fairly decent job in this edgy role, I still get this hint of youth or immaturity (can’t quite find the right word) though, which is something that I think they wanted us to pick up on, especially when it came to the military aspect of the film.

Since, forever, young men have been going off to fight in wars for reasons outside of defending freedom and battling the enemy, many of which were far too idealistic to ever really be able to encompass the weight of that decision. I think we, as in society, often let that happen and don’t take responsibility for those casualties. That is something that I think the movie does an alright job at highlighting. It could go way deeper than it does, but they chose to go for a specific angle with it, so I’m not mad at them for not going in on all the possible side effects of joining the military. That being said, it’s hard to completely remove Holland from the youthful head space we have when it comes to his performances, at least for me. The movie was A LOT, but I still felt like he was going to crack a smile and start laughing at any given moment. It’s a background feeling, so no I didn’t think that was actually going to happen, I could sense it though. The movie also pushed in ways that It didn’t need to, simply for dramatic effect or to get us to laugh at the irony. I don’t think we needed every “big” choice made in the film for people to like it or at the very least take it seriously. You don’t have to try so hard, if you don’t really want to go there. You also don’t have to be cheeky to give this type of movie breathing room.

Overall I gave this movie a 3 for the drama and the strong parts that really stood out to me, but it was the love story that would have really dropped it down a little bit. Not saying that part was horrible, it just felt very “I’m gonna follow you to the end of the earth” in a very immature kind of way. Can that story be told well? Sure. We have to however not let it get sucked in to things that feel a little silly, even when they’re not. Not minimizing addiction whatsoever, there were just certain peices of the movie, early on, that seemed to lean heavily in the direction of immature parts of that kind of storytelling.

Here’s the thing, you’re either going to not hate the film and think it was alright, like me, or you’re going to think it’s really bad and say that all major parties involved should stick to the tried and true, Marvel movie. If the trigger warnings don’t hold you back, I’d say Cherry is definitely worth checking out, just to see, but don’t feel some type of way if it doesn’t meet all the expectations you thought it would. They can all go back and try again.

.

Bonus Thoughts On The Ending (SPOILERS INCLUDED.)

Basically I didn’t like the “I’ll follow you to the end of the earth, even if its an almost decade later,” part. Not saying she should have left him, just to leave him, but you kinda want to see what fresh things happen at the end of the day, for the both of them. I’m glad that the two of them ended up sober and I’m not mad that she was there upon his release from prison, but part of me feels like they could both easily get sucked back into previous habits and that makes me nervous for them.
