Starting with a “[freeze frame] You’re probably wondering how I got here ”moment, Apple TV gives us a first look at cherry, an “epic odyssey of romance, war, drug addiction and crime” directed by the Russo Brothers and starring Tom Holland. (It’s all based on the novel of the same name by Nico Walker.) We see glimpses of a young man’s life as he navigates his first love – ah, the romance of building a Subway sandwich together – and the unfolding of the war, all mixed with scenes from The nameless character in trouble from Holland robbing banks. His MO: to offer a dollar bill with “this is theft” written on it (in the script of an 8 year old child with Crayola access), which eventually increases for him just by attacking with a gun. Holland offers a dramatic monologue about pictures of his character throwing leaves in the air and, like any 23-year-old who has been through it all, he admits that “sometimes it seems like [he’s] I saw everything that will happen – and it is a nightmare. ”But with an optimistic and less tortured woman at your side, surely her love will carry you through, right? Anyway, it looks like the Netherlands is ready for its Nightcrawler or To drive moment, so Aranha step aside.
cherry will be released in theaters on February 26 and available for streaming on Apple TV + March 12.
