Was Cherry Based on a true story?

As many fans may already know, Tom Holland’s new film, Cherry, is based on a true story. Well, it’s mostly a true story. Cherry was adapted from a book by the same name, which is not strictly biographical, but draws significantly from the author’s life.

What was the point of the movie Cherry?

Based on Nico Walker’s 2018 novel, “Cherry” follows Cherry on his journey from college student to Army cadet to bank robbing, heroin-shooting junkie, and the film is meant as a critique of capitalism, the way we treat our veterans and the lost hope of the George W. Bush years.

Why is the movie Cherry called Cherry?

Holland’s character has no name – Cherry is (possibly) a nickname for his first wartime experience, but that doesn’t happen until well into the film.

Is Cherry worth watching?

Overall, I think this is a film that you have to watch for yourself. Some might really hate it, others might really like it. It does get a little hard to watch at times, because of its 2hr20min runtime, but I think it was well worth it.
