This is that movie that feels like a car crash that you simply can’t look away from. You love it and you hate it but once you start it you can’t stop it.

Rated: 1.5/5

Twilight meets the After series in this tortured teen romance from Italy that features an excellent lead performance and murky undertones of childhood loss and trauma.

Overall, The Tearsmith is a teen romance suitable for younger audiences who aren’t old enough to know any better.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The Tearsmith is an utterly confusing, absolutely uninteresting mess of a movie. With no redeeming qualities, one can only hope that these clearly passionate teenage actors get more chances to participate in projects worthy of their time.

Rated: 2/10

The Tearsmith doesn’t really ever address the potential ickiness of this... Maybe this theme found fuller expression in the novel, but in the film, it can’t align itself with the overdone riffing on fairy tales, wolves, and innocent damsels.

If someone were to compile a comprehensive list of young adult romance genre tropes, it would likely be a spitting image of Netflix’s The Tearsmith.

Not everyone gets their love but the one who gets it is probably God's perfect creation. I liked this movie very much, after watching it I feel that this ending should ask everyone to meet their love life 😔.

This movie could have been so much more. A look into the stark reality of orphanages. A villain with more complexity. Characters who have more depth. Instead I was left wondering why I started watching the movie in the first place.

A somewhat predictable film, I don't understand why although it was filmed in Italy it had an English setting and the characters had English names, I feel that the plot is not narrated in the best way and I feel that the furor the film has had is because the main character is extremely handsome.

The script is really bad, the actor's abilities are questionable at best, and even the editing is poor. It's remarkable to find a film where there’s nothing redeemable.

Surprisingly compelling film keeping you guessing and wanting more. It isn't scripting genius and doesn’t have groundbreaking cinematography, but Genovesi interweaving of love, loyalty, and pain creates an element of unique beauty amongst the two protagonists. The ending is abrupt and leaves some plot line questions, however, it’s worth the watch if you’re in the mood for a guilty tear-inducing romance weeknight romance flick.
