"That's an awful lot of money for lying around in your underwear." A new trailer for an indie drama called Cherry, starring Ashley Hinshaw (last seen in Chronicle as the girl), about the sex industry has popped up online via The Playlist. I haven't heard of this before, but it just premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and co-stars James Franco, Heather Graham and Dev Patel in a drama that seems to show workin' in the porn industry ain't that easy after all. Alas, it's not a great trailer, but it is a good introduction to this indie flick. If you're interested based on the title, cast and image alone, then you've just got to take a look anyway.
Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Cherry is a story of PTSD and the effects of drugs and war on the young and misguided. The Russo Brothers waste their Avengers street cred on a messy depiction of the American dream blowing up in your face. Tom Holland attempts to reach for something that he doesn't have in a performance that's wildly not for him, while The Russos borrow style and plotting from far better filmmakers, leaving Cherry feeling like an over-stuffed slog."
Tom Holland and Joe and Anthony Russo have teamed up again but this time on a project which is about as far away from the Marvel universe as possible. Based on the book Nico Walker; “Cherry” is a compelling tale told in segments that depict a different style and phase of the main character’s life.
Cherry melds arthouse invention with mainstream genre to give audiences something truly special and enjoyable.
