Review of About Cherry (2012) by Anam — 02 Dec 2012
Is it possible to make a movie with a gorgeous girl, an alcoholic mom, innocent younger sister, a threateningly lecherous step-dad, a bad boy boyfriend, a coke addicted lawyer, and an ambiguous female porn director, all shot against artistically seedy backdrops and featuring the SF sex film industry.
...BORING? Apparently so - The movie dragged and stalled, the characters often seemed oddly disconnected from the events around them and the moments of fine acting that might otherwise have made true impact were swallowed up in the overall void that seemed to suck the connection and reality out of the rest of the film.
One positive, Dev Patel amazingly seemed to be able to raise his role out of the vacuum enough to create a charming and believable character in spite of the odd vacancy surrounding him.
