For the role of the protagonist they chose Tom Holland, former interpreter of “Spider-Man” in the latest Marvel films: the actor plays Cherry, a man who, returning home from Iraq, cannot overcome what he lived in the war nor let alone resume his normal life. Suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder, which she can only sedate when she uses drugs, Cherry soon finds herself out of money and starts robbing banks in order to easily get money.
Based on Nico Walker’s 2018 novel of the same name (partly autobiographical), the film soon becomes a reflection on the loss of innocence not only of a character, but of an entire America: Cherry is in fact a metaphor of the United States that have lost themselves after 9/11.
The end of the American dream
“Cherry” can thus turn out to be yet another film on the end of the American dream, even if these ideas from the social and political slant remain somewhat on the surface in a film that cares much more about form than substance.
