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.

Eva

This movie is a perfect encapsulation of life in this world and how we make our way through it. The acting within the film is phenomenal and touching, presenting the story in raw truth. This is a film a person has to see at least once if they wish to understand how grief intertwines with love.

Decent one time watch. Good to see Lili Reinhart in a fresh role outside of Riverdale, and she's done well in her lead role. Film gets intense on multiple occasions but the journey is a simple one worth exploring.

The storyline has a lot of potential it has very interesting and real concepts about teenagers, it's quite emotional and engaging, but unfortunately the production of the film wasn't great as it just feels like you're seeing the same cycle over and over which makes it feel repetitive and boring to the watcher.

loved the performances by both lead actors Austin Abrams and Lili Reinhart, a different movie with an unexpected ending, tbh it moved me to tears, although i think they could have handled the plot in a better way, and they could have used the secondary characters more in the film, the performances never ceased to amaze me.

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

Empire Magazine

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 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.

A story of teenage love, unplanned and misunderstood.

Chemical Hearts opens up the formula and gears it towards free will and the only certainty that adolescence brings -- it isn't an ideal stage, can't foresee what you'll learn from it, but it is fleeting... [Full review in Spanish]
