The crime thriller “Cherry” was shown to the US press and Tom Holland’s performance was highly regarded.
In the general context, the film by brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, directors of “Avengers: Endgame”, divided opinions.
Check out the reactions:
“My reaction to Cherry: I have a lot of ideas for this realistic, fascinating, deep and scary film. While it is very authentic, it is also stylistically invigorating and there is a lot to think about. I loved the direction and the photography, as well as Tom Holland ”. https://t.co/ry2EkKFwYh

“Tom Holland is very good at #Cherry. He continues to impress with his reach (and his ability to hide his accent) ”. https://t.co/ue39iX5HUg

“#Cherry is a sample of @ TomHolland1996’s talents. Your most mature and stimulating role. The film ventures into several different genres – Romance, War, Epic, Criminal Terror – but it engages in all of them. Absolutely beautiful and sophisticated. https://t.co/U4u4i4HhQG

“Cherry is ambitious in the current opioid crisis, but loses focus on the lack of narrative. Tom Holland delivers a promising performance, but the film fails to achieve the emotional impact he wants during its filming time ”. https://t.co/oUEJXGGD8w

“Cherry is a mess. Tom Holland tries to do his best, but still fails to reverse the inconsistent and stylized direction of the Russo Brothers. The writing is immature and very long, with nothing new to say about PTSD or addiction. Worst movie of the year ”. (which has barely started) https://t.co/ZLNX94wXj9

Previously, the directors had explained to CBR why they decided to adapt the story because they wanted to invest in projects with more dramatic and personal themes, different from the MCU movies.
“We’re from Cleveland, the city where romance takes place. For us, it was very personal, as we imagined this story could happen to people we wanted to be close to. Not in the sense that we know the people in the book, but these guys who look very familiar to us, ”Anthony said.
He continued:
“And the fact that the protagonist is dealing with drug addiction was very important to us, we met a lot of people who were affected by it and it felt very timely and important to us. It is a drama that deserves to be shown to the world, however common it may seem. I think there is an urgency in the film because the drug crisis is growing day by day and there is still a lot of prejudice behind it. Drug addicts are often seen as illnesses, not sick. “
Check out the poster and promotional images:
Joe previously spoke to the comic and praised Holland’s performance, saying the star deserved an Oscar nomination.
“I think it’s an Oscar-worthy performance. I think he is just amazing. It’s a breathtaking performance. What he is doing emotionally and physically is incredible ”.
Recalling that Apple Original Films bought the worldwide screening rights for the film for 40 million US dollars.
The film is expected to be streamed on Apple TV + in early 2021, with the goal of winning the Oscar and Golden Globe season.
With a screenplay signed by Jessica Goldberg, the project is based on the eponymous novel written by Nico Walker.
In addition to Holland and Bravo, the cast includes Bill Skarsgard, Forrest Goodluck, Jeffrey Wahlberg, Michael Gandolfini, and Kyle Harvey.
