A panned crime caper laughably touted as an awards contender survives a downward streaming spiral

Every year, plenty of movies find themselves put forward for the awards season conversation, but the only people who seemed to think that last year’s hollow biopic Cherry had a shot at landing any prizes were the people who made it, which made them look even more foolish when the all style and no substance caper was resoundingly panned by critics.

There was plenty of buzz heading into the project, though, not least of all because it marked the first directorial effort from Joe and Anthony Russo since they concluded their stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in spectacular fashion with Avengers: Endgame. Tom Holland’s dramatic skills were poised to be stretched to their limit, too, and the fascinating subject matter ensured that Cherry did have some buzz behind it when it landed on AppleTV in February 2021.
