It isn’t pretty — it’s by turns confusing, exhilarating, depressing and deflating. But then again, so is high school.

What makes Chemical Hearts so good is it’s unafraid of its feelings. It tackles complicated emotional issues such as depression, suicide, sex and love with a straightforward honesty. For once, a film about young people is completely free of snark and irony.

loved the way the story is built. It is an incredible romance film, with a deep plot. I found it totally promising.
Reinhart’s acting was perfect.
The actors portrayed their characters perfectly.

Assuaging teenage growing pains like a shot of novocaine administered by a shaky hand, this tender and subdued look around the limbo between adolescence and adulthood might start with a sullen kid trying to save his crush from her darkest secrets, but it never gets swept up in the idea that he actually can.

Heavy-handed symbolism aside, this is a decent little drama which digs into the bewildering limbo state between childhood and the adult world – a time in which everything hurts, heads are full of hormones and time stretches out interminably.

Chemical Hearts is sad, dark and depending on how much heartbreak you can take, almost too depressing at times. But it definitely provides something different in the teenage romance genre — except that something different may make you miss the days of cheesy high school rom-coms by the end.

For all its serious-faced surface grit, Chemical Hearts never quite rings true.

This elaborately contrived story feels as if it has been cobbled together from a dozen others, and it never escapes cliche.

I loved the way the story is built. It is an incredible romance film, with a "deep" plot. I found it totally promising!

It may not have a cheerful tone like the vast majority of films of its kind, but beyond that, its narrative structure is weak, slow and irrelevant.

Nothing interesting about this. It's all been seen before and done better. Amazon Studios continues producing film school projects.

Im 14 and this is deep movie about a girl and an ****
It was very cringy from 10 to the last minute. The guy did well in keeping the same face all the movie. One point for multicolored credits
