Director: Sophie Galibert
Twenty-four hours. One pregnancy test. No easy answers. Cherry compresses a life-altering decision into a single day and lets a rideshare-driving twenty-something wander through it in real time.
What is Cherry about?
Cherry has no fixed plan for her life beyond getting through the next shift, which is exactly why the news that she's eleven weeks pregnant lands with such force. Rather than rushing toward a decision, she spends the day moving through Los Angeles, picking up passengers, running into old friends, and drifting between conversations that circle her situation without ever landing on it directly. The film's low-key, meandering rhythm mirrors Cherry's own avoidance, and director Sophie Galibert resists melodrama at every turn, letting small, ordinary interactions carry the emotional weight instead of a single confrontation scene. At a brisk 76 minutes, the film treats urgency and drift as the same feeling, showing how a deadline can coexist with a day that otherwise looks like any other.
Cast & crew
Alexandria Trewhitt carries the film in the title role, playing Cherry's restlessness with an unforced, naturalistic ease that suits the story's loose, day-in-the-life structure. Hannah Alline and Angela Nicholas appear as people who pass through Cherry's day, while Darius Levanté and Sandy Duarte round out a supporting cast built around brief, glancing encounters rather than sustained scenes.
Context & significance
Released in 2023, Cherry belongs to a small but recognizable strand of American independent cinema that follows a single character across one compressed day to examine a larger personal crossroads. Its Los Angeles setting stays specific and unglamorous, favoring rideshare interiors and quiet side streets over any postcard version of the city.
Where & how to watch
Cherry streams on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles included, so its quieter, dialogue-heavy scenes come through clearly for Farsi-speaking audiences. The film's page can be read by anyone without signing in, and watching it only requires logging into a free K-Time account, with no pricing or time-limited offers involved.
