“Cherry Tree” is an incredibly moody and darkly atmospheric film, which makes sense given its many heavy thematic elements. It is chock full of symbolism representing feminism, femininity and women’s issues, bond of family, bodily autonomy, sexual freedom, etc. Themes of loss are quite prevalent in this movie: loss of a parent, loss of life, loss of innocence, loss of childhood, etc etc. It is a very moody, atmospheric, and dark film centering around a 15-year-old virgin, Faith, who makes a pact with some dark witches in order to save her ailing father’s life.
