Cherish

About This Movie

Cherish is an interesting entry in the 90s drama scene. It explores deep themes of loss and longing through the eyes of a gay man grappling with the death of his partner. The pacing can be a bit slow at times, but it really allows the emotional weight of the story to sink in. The tone is introspective, almost melancholic, which fits the subject matter well. There's this constant tension between the joy of dance and the pain of remembrance, which I found quite distinctive. The performances are heartfelt, especially in how they capture the nuances of grief. The atmosphere is almost palpable, pulling you into this world where every preparation for a night out becomes a reminder of what was lost.
