one of the worst films i have ever seen.
i saw someone compare this to wave and yeah as someone who likes that film, i would agree. both films have allot of stylistic choices stuffed into them but where i think cherry fails is in its narrative.
its soooo boooooring and it hinges on lazy sounding narration from tom holland. the script is laughable bad with forced "depth"
the russo's have created this sort of frankenstein esk film that still retains there shitty nature as film makers, kinda bad cinematography and composition(even tho it is better then their other films) and just boring editing.
but this film does not need to be 2 hours long. its an oscar bait film that is not even good enough to have the oscars take the bait.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A harrowing descent into addiction and desperation following combat trauma, anchored by a relationship that can't quite save either of them. It's an unflinching portrait of how PTSD and drug dependency corrode a person from the inside out.
