#Chemical hearts movie#

While I enjoyed the movie and thought it was very well-written and authentic, it’s a bit of an acquired taste, in my opinion. This book-based drama has its funny moments, but it focuses on the inevitable pain of love and loss rather than prom and other more typical teen movie subjects. For those in search of a light-hearted, Kissing Booth- esque film, I recommend you look elsewhere. Both touching and devastatingly honest, Chemical Hearts tells a story that is all too real, a bit painful, and ultimately hopeful.Ĭhemical Hearts certainly won’t be for everyone. As the two form a friendship, and possibly more, Henry and Grace learn what it means to love deeply, accept a person for who they are, and experience the beauty that remains amidst the pain of the world. But as he falls in love with the new girl, he begins to unravel dark secrets about Grace, getting to see the beauty beyond her facade but also the lingering pain from her past.

After Grace joins the newspaper as a co-editor with Henry, he knows he needs to understand the mysterious girl who wears oversized clothes and uses a cane. Starring Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart and Paper Town’s Austin Abrams, Chemical Hearts diverges from the mundane and delves in the more complex components of love, both the joyful and the heart-breaking.

Based on the best-selling young adult novel by Krystal Sutherland, Chemical Hearts tells a love story that tackles mental illness, high school romance, and the pain of loss and grief.
