The good performances are not enough to save Cherry from itself. There's so much potential in the source material, but the screenplay races through ideas while the direction simultaneously sucks the life out of them. A well intentioned flop. #Cherry pic.twitter.com/XV98iR9Myy

Unnecessarily long, such a slog to get through, and overstylised. Holland does well, although I could never suspend my belief enough to be convinced he was a drug addict/bank robber. #Cherry

Just finished #Cherry for #FridayFakeCinemaClub. Now that I'm finally caught up, I liked it. It was emotionally investing, even if I couldn't look at the film a lot because of the needles. The style was really out there, which did drag the story down a lot, but I liked it. B

While Ciara Bravo did a good job, I don't think trying to make Cherry into a grand romance worker. It made it a lot harder to feel for the Narrator. Book Emily worked better, even though she's a knob #fridayfakecinemaclub
