Chemical Hearts

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!

A teen drama movie based on a book. How can we get over that love that hurt us? In this movie you won't know. It is about a boy who meets a girl and falls in love with her, while discovering his past. Parsimonious. Quality. She talks about how sometimes we cannot forget the damage we have done or the damage they did to us, although she succeeds in doing it, she does not show how to overcome it, she becomes more and more stuck in her central idea. It is not your typical teenage story. At times it may seem silly and toxic, the message it tries is good but the situations and how to get there are not. Avoidable. It's like a sleeping pill in the middle of the movie, it has a good opening and a little closing, but it falls off in the middle. She tries to look smart and is only ostentatious because she can't. The book may try something else but the film does not and stays in the attempt.

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.

Being Young is so painful, It's almost,like, too much to feel! I'm 20 and i could soooo relate it!

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