Richard Roeper

Harsh times and heartbreak abound in the Russo brothers’ gritty addiction epic Cherry, but there’s poetry in the language of the script and in certain moments of wonder and hope, of dark comedy, of love and redemption. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Cherry is like three different movies in one: the teen years, the war experience, and then life as a drug addict. It’s held together by the smart writing, by the overarching tone of tragic absurdity, and by Holland, who hits every bump on Cherry’s way down. Read full review

Cherry is a fervent movie, corn-fed with drama and action, but maybe a little less than the sum of its parts. Read full review

For all the frenzied action of the final scenes though, there's an airless, overwrought sense of diminishing returns — and that's a comedown we've seen too many times before. Read full review

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo of “Avengers: Endgame” fame, the well-worn drama gets high marks for style and proficiency, but you don’t have to be Nostradamus to know exactly where it’s going every step of the way. At the movies, stories like this one are a dime bag a dozen. Read full review

Peter Travers

Tom Holland, of Spider-man fame, breathes dramatic fire as a PTSD-afflicted Army medic in Iraq who returns home as a bank robber to feed his opiod and heroin habit, but his glossy, overlong film is failed Oscar bait that drowns him in addiction cliches. Read full review

There’s hardly a moment in Cherry that’s believable, but the film’s true crime is that there’s hardly a moment in it that’s enjoyable either. The only emotion the movie conveys is being full of itself. Read full review

One of the best movies I have ever seen! The way it captures all the emotions that a writer wants the audience to see is amazing! The screenplay, the acting by Tom Holland and Ciara Bravo, the directing of The Russo Brothers needs a standing ovation for this great masterpiece!

A hard film about drug addiction, which is shot very stylishly, and this is the merit of Russo.

Tom Holland is due to receive an Oscar for this role, this is his best role in his entire career.

I really enjoyed this movie, it felt like it could be a real life story and in a way it also was about real love, trauma from war and such things. From the trailer it did feel like it is a bit more smth about bank robberies, but its actually quite a serious movie with serious topics.

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

The book was miles better. Sorry Russo, but this movie didn't really adapt the best parts of the book. Respect to the actors who nailed their performances.
