Efectos colaterales del amor

I kept imagining that if i were my teen self, I'd probably think this was "deep." But now i think it's pretentious!

I think it's high time young adult novels are written by younger adults, because these novels make teens look like these adults , and so deep and serious, when in reality there are moments of lightness as well.

The chemistry between the leads are good. Only thing that makes it watchable , apart from the cinematography.

This was okay. This is the same brand of pretentious as John Green. Sorry not sorry, but teens don't sound like a novelist.

Also, the lead guy was kinda a pushover. I get the trope of nerdy, artistic shy guy, whatever. But that doesn't make all of them the same, he could have come across as less pathetic and stronger boundaries ! Sad that teens are being pandered this crap as romance and coming-of-age. Your high school love doesn't have to a tumultuous tortured romance. 🙄🙄🙄 This is second only to those teen cancer movies, we need better genre!

It avoids the typical teenage romance genre clichés and instead focuses on character development and how relationships at a young age shape individuals into who they become as they grow older Great soundtrack and performances by the lead pair

6/10 - promising young adult novel adaptation explores lots of worthy themes but never manages to truly lift off the ground

Chemical Hearts is a decent film that spreads mental health awareness. The movie is a love story about a hopeless romantic falling in love with the new girl at school. Lili Reinhart's acting is incredibly touching. Despite the fantastic acting, the story was poorly executed. The plot seemed unfinished. I would recommend this movie to suckers for sappy, romantic, chick-flicks.

This is a really good movie, better than I expected. I like Lili Reinhart, having watched her as Betty in "Riverdale", she also was a producer for this new-release movie on Amazon streaming. Set and filmed in New Jersey, she is high school senior Grace Town, new to this school, with a limp and a cane.

Austin Abrams is Henry Page, also a senior and newly appointed school newspaper editor. Grace and Henry become friends and then more, but Grace always seems distant, something is bothering her, she doesn't speak about it easily. It is wrapped up in the bad wreck about a year earlier that killed her friend and cut her track career short.

The title is a reference to several things, one a comment made early while looking at the night sky, that we are just molecules, chemicals, made from exploded star remnants. Another is what Henry's doctor sister says about chemical changes in the minds of teenagers, as they start to leave behind childhood and cope with what it means to be a young adult. Teenagers develop Chemical Hearts.

The movie doesn't have a wrapped up, happily ever after ending but it does have Henry and Grace each headed in perhaps better directions, preparing for young adulthood. My wife and I watched it at home on Amazon streaming.
