"Cherry" (2021) #tomholland #movies #moviereview #filmreview

“Where do you want me to start?” asks the titular “Cherry” (Tom Holland) and by the end of this harrowing 142 minute epic you will have gone through the mill of the most extreme of human emotions and two decades of a life “wasted on me” and of a man on the very edges of living, life, death and a shattering experience in between brought brilliantly and vividly to life by Holland. Widely acclaimed around the world as the current incumbent in the web slinging Spiderman franchise, this is a wild and brilliant departure for Holland who would follow this portrayal with yet another radical departure with this year’s PlayStation gaming crossover and hugely enjoyable Uncharted. Plotting a similar course in many ways, the directing brothers of Anthony and Joe Russo are equally known around the world as the directors who brought us the latest instalments in the Captain America series of films as well as providing a spectacular back to back ending to the Avengers universe. From the larger Marvel universe they departed radically here before following with this year’s impressively enjoyable The Gray Man and, as with that film, the brothers have directed another gem but perhaps one that’s more difficult to love than this year’s follow up.
