Tom Holland tries his best, but the film is too overlong, self-indulgent and immature, and the screenplay is too formulaic, to make this worth a watch for all but the least-demanding stans.

But it's in these kinds of small films where true directors bring out their best weapons, and in the Russos' case, it ended up showing several weaknesses.

Cherry is even Oscar bait to some degree. (Don't worry, it will not achieve anything) and that's why it aspires to so much and cannot achieve its goal. The movie simply lacks perspective, plus it's ruthlessly long.
Although I must certainly emphasize that it never becomes a story that cannot be seen, it's simply that instead of being clear-cut and concise, the Russos prefer to expand and weaken their own film in the process.

Tom Holland gets a dramatic twist that will likely give him better roles down the road outside of Marvel and Spider-Man stardom, and I say this, because in my opinion, his portrayal felt more organic than what he did in The Devil All the Time.
I definitely think the role should have gone to a more experienced actor, but I admit that Holland pulls it off with a natural effort.

Check it out, but caveat emptor.

Tom Holland, I appreciate your efforts, but man the Russo's did you dirty with their music video directing.

Your roots are showing. That's the biggest problem I have with this movie. I didn't mind the story, I didn't mind the acting, it was shot well (I even dug some of the dreamier elements), but it tries to rip-off too many better films. FirstYour roots are showing. That's the biggest problem I have with this movie. I didn't mind the story, I didn't mind the acting, it was shot well (I even dug some of the dreamier elements), but it tries to rip-off too many better films. First and most importantly, Jarhead. Not sure what this movie is trying to bring to the table. It seems like it's a love story, "love conquers all," but it apparently doesn't. At least not in the case of addiction. Expand
