Sensitive Henry spends the majority of the film in a state of complete confusion which is understandable, really, but I think his utter bewilderment surrounding what is happening starts to overshadow how difficult everything must be for grief-stricken Grace. But there is a darker side to this teen drama, there is grief and a whole lot of sadness and whilst the ending was wholesome and tied the plot up nicely, it may not have been the one we were all expecting.Įven though she is an integral part to the plot, the viewer cannot fully get to know Grace Their different spheres clash and collide, all the while their parents cannot possibly understand what it is to be a teenager in love. A boy meets a girl from a completely different world.

The film is adapted from the young-adult novel Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland and follows Henry Page, a down to earth aspiring writer (played by Austin Abrams of Euphoria) on his quest to understand and help the new mystery girl at school Grace Town ( Lili Reinhart from Riverdale).Ĭhemical Hearts obviously contains the quintessential aspects of the teen romance genre. Chemical Hearts is Amazon’s new tear-jerker which started streaming on Amazon Prime on the 21st of August.
