This week we are looking at should-have-been-at-a-cinema-but-is-on-streaming release, Cherry. Based on the book by Nico Walker (Knopf, 2018), and was released on Apple TV+ on March 12th, 2021. It was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers, Captain America, Arrested Development, Happy Endings, Deadly Class) and adapted by Angela Russo-Otstot (V, Trust Me, The Shield and Jessica Goldberg (Away, The Path, Parenthood). It stars Tom Holland (Unnamed Protagonist), Ciara Bravo (Emily), Michael Rispoli (Tommy), Michael Gandolfini (Cousin Joe), Forrest Goodluck (James Lightfoot), Jimenez (Jeff Wahlberg), and Jack Raynor (Pills & Coke). It was produced by The Hideaway Entertainment, AGBO and Kasbah Films.
As per usual spoilers aplenty! We break down the book and the film and try and figure out whether or not the original is the best or did they improve on the text.
