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.

This utterly confusing movie stole almost 2 precious hours of my life. The piss-poor plot of this comes almost close to that of Twilight. What was the moral of the story? No idea. The novel version was probably better but the continous reference to fairytailes, wolves and tearsmiths was a ginormous ick. Also the dude was trying to be an alpha so hard it almost broke my will to live. Also the fact that music was running underneath the entire time made it seem very unserious and music video like. A huge no from me.

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.
