Review of Cherry (2010) by Leonel L — 03 Sep 2011
This movie was better than expected. I knew I'd like it, because it falls right into line with other independent drama/comedy/coming of age films that I seem to love; Rocket Science, Ballad of Jack and Rose, Thumbsucker, etc. What I didn't expect, is that it's probably not just a movie I'd like and has more appeal than just the quirky characters indie film niche.
Sure.. there were a few plot holes, and minor character flaws - things that were done that I didn't understand the motivation for that person to do - but it's a great effort.
The one thing that impressed me most is, with 10-20 minutes left I still had no clue where the movie was going to go. This is good in the sense they didn't broadcast twists and changes in the story arc, and the dialogue and flow kept me sucked in to the story to the point that wasn't even something I thought about. Even more so, because Cherry seems a bit cliche, unrealistic and predictable on the surface; but the characters and story have a lot of depth, and with that depth it works.
