  Review by Chris Cabin ★ 29

  Imagine Martin Scorsese tells you that you are only good for making amusement park rides for Disney babies and you get spooked so bad that you try to make a *two and a half hour* dramatic adaptation of a bestseller that is markedly more shallow than the movies with the flag-shield man and his talking raccoon friends. Indefensible.

  Review by demi adejuyigbe 30

  The Russos keep saying this movie is "about the opioid epidemic" and like... not... really? It involves opioid addiction. But there's a whole hour of this movie that tackles masculinity and American imperialism in a much more suggestive way before abandoning that and using the last half to just kinda go "damn, this guy's life is crazy, huh." It's such a flashy and stylish film that feels designed to keep your attention and move with a visual flair– and of course that's what the directors of the biggest popular films of the decade would want to make, and I do not say that as an insult– but at a certain point the flashiness felt tiring to me. Just an endless…

  Biggest revelation is that the Russo brothers would make pretty solid 2010s music video directors

  Review by Josh Lewis ★ 6

  A 14-year-old's high school play version of a serious film about war and drug addiction. Painfully over-cranked with a never-ending assault of ugly and empty style tics by two tv producers who don't want to convey ideas or characters as much as they want you to know that they're Real Fucking Directors, man. Awful awful awful.

  While filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo were on a studio lot somewhere putting the finishing touches on what would inevitably become the highest-grossing movie ever made, a pasty convict named Nico Walker was serving out the last months of a seven-year prison stint in Ashland, Kentucky, and waiting for the publication of the autobiographical novel he’d written from jail about the wayward journey that had brought him there in the first place. The movie was called “Avengers: Endgame,” and it would go on to gross more than $2.7 billion at the worldwide box office. The book was called “Cherry,” and the bestseller’s instant success would earn enough to afford its 33-year-old author — a former Iraq War Army medic, opioid…

  There isn't a single thing in this that isn't clichéd, recycled, or both. The Russos, news to nobody, are producers and not directors. Tom Holland is bad in it but everyone else is much worse.

  Review by George Clark ★★★½ 28

  Cherry isn’t a film many people will be overwhelmingly positive on. It’s an over-stylised mess that’s far too long and should have ended at the exact moment you think it does, rather then going into an ‘epilogue’ that ruins much of the emotional impact of the film. It could have and should have been so much more given its opioid crisis focus. However, it’s a film I found myself interested in straight away, despite a myriad of problems it’s one that educated me on the crisis and stunned me by its gritty nature. It’s not a film many people will particularly enjoy, but for me it’s one that really managed to strike a cord and linger with me long after…

  So you're telling me the Russo Brothers only consist of 2 dudes? Cause it feels like there's 10 different people directing this.
