Review of Cherry (2010) by Hoops2448 — 20 Oct 2011
Cherry is a surprising film in that its budget is awful, its filmed hastily but all of that doesn't detract from the fact the film itself, the writing, the acting and the overall feel of the film, is fantastic.
Cherry tells the story of a 17 year old boy Aaron (Kyle Gallner) who goes to an Ivy League college on an engineering scholarship despite the fact he loves to draw. In a sketch class he meets Linda (Laura Allen), an older woman who offers to cook him dinner.
He goes back to hers and meets her daughter Beth (Britt Robertson) a troubled but clever 14 year old girl. Aaron begins to learn different things from both of them while also becoming a part of their family.
Sure the film offers up some cliches (the inappropriate roommate) but it more than makes up for it in heart with a great ending offering up a kind of hope for a family that started out so frayed and a boy that was not yet a man.
