Cherish & Ruelle, adapted from Reiga Sanskaras novel, carries a compelling premise but struggles with execution due to its rushed storytelling and underdeveloped narrative. Febby Rastanty takes on a bold, unfamiliar role, yet her portrayal of Ruelle falls short of fully breaking from her usual "safe" characters, while overacted scenes and illogical dialogueespecially in critical momentsdiminish the films emotional impact. Despite decent cinematography, weak sound design and forced performances make the film feel flat, though it still holds potential if given a more thoughtful rework.
