Cherry is a poignant and timely dramedy that delves into the complex world of a young woman grappling with an unplanned pregnancy. French-born director Sophie Galibert delivers a captivating and heartfelt story, keeping the focus on Cherry's emotional journey rather than turning it into a political debate. Alex Trewhitt's portrayal of Cherry is both relatable and endearing, making us root for her as she navigates her difficult decisions. With a visually appealing and insightful costume design, the film celebrates personal growth and the power of choice. Although Cherry only briefly touches on the broader political context, it remains a beautifully crafted and uplifting tale of self-discovery.

Loved the beauty of the pictures, this comedy-drama really shows Los Angeles in its best light and colors! The characters and the story feel authentic, touching, charming. A perfect cast to deliver this heartfelt story. Quite a timely topic too, giving us a much needed glimpse at the simple reality of unwanted pregnancy, far from the extremes and politics. A very down to earth approach, staged in a typical Californian beautiful background, highlighting the importance of your environment in such life-changing moments. Can't wait to see what director/writer Sophie Galibert will come up with next!... Bravo and thank you!

A nuanced take on a pressing issue! This film reminds of the GREAT 90's independent films in which directors made films that brought emotional realism to the forefront, while harnessing an aesthetic of sincerity. I particularly liked the peripheral characters such as the father and the monologue he had with his daughter. This scene crystallises the ways in which each character in this film both exhibit flawed but redeeming qualities. I won't give anything away, but this film definitely landed the ending and tied everything together, which is no easy task. I can't wait to see what this director dies next!
