"Cherry," is a harrowing drama, that shines a light on the nation's ongoing opiate problem through the true story of a U.S. Army veteran.
The film stars Tom Holland as a man from Ohio who drops out of college, joins the military, then gets PTSD. Not long after a doctor prescribes him opiates, he and his wife, played by Ciara Bravo, find themselves shifting from pills to heroin. To fund his drug addiction, he begins robbing banks as he surrounds himself with a strange cast of friends.
"Cherry" is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo of "Avengers Endgame" fame. The film was acquired by Apple for a rumored $40 million.
"Cherry" will join other programming on Apple's streaming service, including spy-thriller "Tehran" and neo-noir psychological thriller "Losing Alice."

This sounds like a real downer movie. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't find downers to be entertaining. I would like Apple to focus on entertainment that makes me happy. I don't like paying anyone money to make myself feel sad. My life has enough of that, especially in 2020/2021. What I like are hopeful, underdog stories where the underdog protagonist ends up winning in the end. Things like Tehran, For All Mankind, and Ted Lasso. Give me more hope.

Looks like the missed Valentines day. Crazy how fast movies are hitting streaming services. This one goes to Apple TV+ in a month after theatrical.
Before Apple TV+ everyone was complaining that Apple would only provide happy content.
