CHEMICAL HEARTS MOVIE

Reinhart, most famous for her TV work in Riverdale, does her best to sell some truly cringe-worthy dialogue.

The girl, named Grace Town as only a character in a romance could be, is played with great depth and feeling by Lili Reinhart. Perhaps the most important element to each of these movies is the chemistry between the leads, and Chemical Hearts’ greatest success is in its lead performers. Here, the genre’s Mad Libs have given us a girl tortured by some unknown (but predictable) tragedy that sees her walk with a cane and eschew normal human interactions and a boy from the too handsome to actually be a nerdy outcast school of casting. And yet, I still kind of liked Chemical Hearts.Ĭhemical Hearts is yet another entry in the damaged teen romance genre that has seen a resurgence in the wake of the success of films like The Fault in Our Stars.

CHEMICAL HEARTS MOVIE

It’s embarrassing, and one of the dopiest, least credible scenes in a movie in 2020. And then she proceeds to opine on intransigence of the atoms that make up her life. The light pollution of the film’s New Jersey setting disappears and the stars glow as brightly as the film’s CGI budget allows. Lili Reinhart stands in a lovely koi pond in the midst of an abandoned factory and looks up at the stars. There’s a scene in Chemical Hearts that’s so jarringly bad it’s actually difficult for me to process. Chemical Hearts overcomes an execrable screenplay on the strength of Lili Reinhart and Austin Abram’s strong performances and skilled direction.
