Cherish Overview

A fantasy-prone young woman confronts a life-altering reality when she is placed in a house arrest program in Finn Taylor’s romantic comedy Cherish. As it follows its heroine on the road to self-reinvention and vindication, Cherish invests several classic film scenarios with new life and cleverly tweaks genre convention at every turn. Taylor delivers a rollercoaster of romance and plots twists, driven by an unforgettable soundtrack of vintage pop hits that offer a witty counterpoint to the onscreen action. As the unfortunate inmate, Robin Tunney (Niagara, Niagara, Vertical Limit) turns in a breakout performance that combines comic verve with emotional depth and glowing physicality. In the role of Tunney’s reserved jailer, actor/filmmaker Tim Blake Nelson (star of O Brother Where Art Thou? and writer/director of O) proves himself a refreshingly different, and utterly appealing, leading man. Expanding on the promise of Taylor’s acclaimed debut, Dream with the Fishes, Cherish is independent filmmaking at its brightest, and as irresistible as a summer radio hit.
