Gyerekek, a drogok rosszak, oké?! Feleslegesen hosszú tini-dráma, amely a régi motívumokat próbálja újszerűen bemutatni. Szerintem azonban gyakran rosszul kiválasztott, zavaró és következetlen is. Egy középszerű téma gyenge rendezése, ami csak újra nagyszerű Tom Holland színésznek köszönhetően nézhető.

It's not going to receive top marks from me, but I must admit that the film surprised me in almost every way. Firstly, I didn’t know the Russo brothers would dive into three genres at once. The film is divided into metaphorical chapters, and personally, I see three main sections: a romance-infused drama, then a full-scale war scene, and finally wrapped up with an existential drama. And lo and behold, they managed to blend all these genres together in such a way that the result doesn’t feel like a hastily assembled patchwork. The first third was the weakest for me; it didn’t engage me much. But the following half-hour set in Iraq more than made up for it (the naturalistic portrayal of the horrors experienced was unforgettable, with one scene sticking in my memory for a long time). And the final hour, where the main character turns into a drug-addled wreck, was simply incredible; I haven’t had chills from just watching a film like that in a long time. Tom Holland’s performance has pushed him up a few more notches for me, as if last year’s The Devil All the Time wasn’t enough... again, he left me in awe. I also appreciate the powerful soundtrack by Henry Jackman, whose diverse tracks enhance those memorable scenes even further. It might be the surprise of the year. Overall, it deserves a solid 8/10. I definitely recommend it to everyone... It’s been a while since there’s been such a heavy film with a significant emotional impact on viewers.

An unexpected gem that took my breath away! Cherry is heavy-handed, uncomfortable, disturbing, psychologically dense with some strong scenes, and definitely not for the faint of heart. Cherry is to the drama genre what The Human Centipede is to horror, and I have to applaud. You will be sick and nauseous, squirming like an earthworm, but fascinated, shocked, surprised and delighted at the same time. For a drama, it's definitely powerful! The Russo Brothers serve up a formally polished and dense story with Tom Holland at his best, reaching his own bottom and delivering the most impressive performance of his career. He may very well be at the top of his game amongst teenage actors at the moment. The film starts out as a very nice and easygoing romance that soon turns into a war hell in Iraq, where there were also intestines and burnt corpses, the training of the soldiers is one of the best I have ever seen in the war genre, and if I thought that this would be the highlight of the whole film, I was wrong, because right after that we watch the disintegration of human personality in the most horrible form. The film takes the best of Euphoria and Requiem for a Dream and I don't think I've ever seen a junkie's lair so authentically and uncomfortably portrayed – shit, vomit, syringes everywhere – followed by well shot bank robberies. I was already wondering that if in the last 20 minutes the film turned into a rape and revenge drama, it would be the top of the list and I'll be taken away. I haven't seen such a beautiful blending of genres so intense and powerful in a long time. I'm tempted to watch it again, I have to give it full marks. Nothing for the weak! 8.5/10.

If they sped up all the slow-mo and did away with all those pointless formal gimmicks, this film would be less than 90 minutes long and maybe a bit more bearable. Maybe. I’d really love to know what the Russo brothers thought they were doing. Perhaps, after years lost in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they wanted to prove they know everything and picked a premise that is part high-school romance at times, part war satire, part drug-addict drama, and part gangster flick with bank robberies, and they packed everything they could think of into it. There are many moments where that excessive formal indulgence feels unintentionally funny. And unfortunately, I didn’t even dig Tom Holland, whom I generally quite like.

It's not as often these days that I get that feeling I used to have when I’d stumble across a hidden gem in the video rental store, watch it for the first time, and marvel at the cinematic experience Hollywood had in store. Now, I mostly keep up with new releases because I’m pretty familiar with the classics from the 80s and 90s, and it’s harder to find something that truly leaves a mark. Hollywood only manages to pull it off a few times a year, and Cherry is definitely one of those moments for me this year. The Russo brothers have come a long way from making average comedies. Their time in the Marvel universe taught them precision, originality, and distinct directorial techniques, which they’ve brilliantly applied to Cherry. The film is a wild genre crossover, starting as a teen romance, shifting into a war drama with some of the most intense combat scenes I’ve seen in years, diving into a dark drug addiction spiral, and wrapping up as a heist story about a bank-robbing junkie. It’s a mix of genres that I haven’t seen in a long time, and during the two and a half hours, I was never bored. The drug drama segment brought back Requiem for a Dream vibes, especially with some of the most grim and unsettling depictions of addiction I’ve seen in a while. Cherry is an experience, one that reminded me why I love cinema, keeping me glued to every shot and appreciating the craft behind it. And then there’s Tom Holland, who completely shattered my expectations. He’s far from the awkward Spider-Man we know—this performance shows he’s evolving into one of Hollywood’s strongest actors today. Just when I thought I’d keep my emotions in check and stay composed, that final shot completely wrecked me.
