Critics Consensus

For better and for worse, Chemical Hearts captures the well-worn ups and downs of melodramatic teenage love -- and countless other films about it.

3/4

Lili Reinhart is good, but it’s Austin Abrams who stands out playing a likeable and real character.

3/5

An impassioned and imperfect portrait of teenage grief and heartbreak, Chemical Hearts takes its audience seriously. For every teenager who has ever felt alone, this feels like a tailor-made care package.

The writers are overly-cautious...good intentions that don't pay off...not good storytelling and not engaging cinema, though an ethically-sound film...

Rather than interrogate disability stereotypes, Chemical Hearts employs them to stunting effect.

3/5

The two leads are really good together... as their friendship and relationship grow, we feel the emotional rollercoaster of adolescence. While it's frustrating and sometimes annoying, it does feel genuine.

Chermical Hearts (2020) The story is quite boring at the beginning and ends even more boringly. The protagonists have no good chemistry whatsoever, and the script proves this several times. However, anyone who enjoys teen romance on Prime Video will like this one.

Chemical Hearts may have a formulaic plot, but it's a love potion that works - sometimes. With a dash of charming cast members and a pinch of complex characters, it's a romantic drama that's worth a shot. Grading: C+

This movie is pure horror to me but yet, so beautiful. Heartbreak is never easy to watch. Bittersweet is the perfect way to describe this one.

I really liked how the actors got into their roles so well. I think that people watching the movie and other people really liked the fact that he is so naturally and elegantly immersed in his role.
