What starts as a strong friends-to-lovers romance gets sidetracked by illogical plot turns and exaggerated characters.

Barbara Saunders

Common Sense Media

With a simplistic script, almost nonexistent character development, and a deferral of all free will to the seeming whims of a trusted god, Promised Hearts often feels like an amateur's production.

David Parkinson

Radio Times

Largely filmed in close-ups and two-shots, the action is very talk-bound and seemingly every scene ends with another soap-style twist.

Rated: 2/5

Most of Promised Hearts is pretty by-the-numbers (...) But it’s that final plot twist that almost made my head spin (...) It’s so bizarre that it’s impressive.

Rated: 1/5

A sweet movie showing the faith and customs of Indonesia. Predictable but charming and pleasant to watch.

I enjoyed watching the movie. It's not a new story line, but I was still expecting every scene. It seemed there was no way, but love still found a way. And their connection to God was fabulous. I love the character of Faiq's fiancee.

It’s heart warming to see that movies can be made without the garbage decadence we see in most Netflix movies that aim at nothing but destroy family and human values. Promised hearts delivered on that and showed that the world still has other cultures that have respect and morals.
