![]() Look out for the film on Amazon August 21, and check out the trailer below. Booklist called “Our Chemical Hearts” “emotionally complex, funny, filled with well-realized and diverse characters and realistic motivations, Sutherland’s debut will stick with readers.” “This much-buzzed-about debut captures the messy, awkward, all-consuming emotions of a teen’s first love,” wrote Entertainment Weekly. Published in 2016, Sutherland’s young-adult novel earned acclaim for its unusual story of first love. Star Reinhart is best known for playing Betty Cooper in the hit CW series “Riverdale,” and she made a splash last year starring as Annabelle opposite Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu in Lorene Scafaria’s “Hustlers.” She also starred in “Galveston,” “The Good Neighbor,” and “Miss Stevens.” Along with “Euphoria,” Austin Abrams was also seen in “The Walking Dead,” “Paper Towns,” “This Is Us,” “SMILF,” “The Americans,” and “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.” “Chemical Hearts” shot in 2019 in New Jersey. Tanne’s last film “Southside with You” imagined the first date of Barack and Michelle Obama in 1989, earning critical acclaim out of the 2016 Sundance Film Festival before being distributed by Miramax and Roadside Attractions. “Chemical Hearts” also stars Kara Young, Sarah Jones, Adhir Kalyan, and Bruce Altman. The film is based on the novel “Our Chemical Hearts” by Krystal Sutherland. But they don’t necessarily need to be hit over the head with it.‘Chemical Hearts’ Review: Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams Shine in a YA Romance for Extra Sensitive Teens Chemical Hearts (2020) Full Cast & Crew See agents for this cast & crew on IMDbPro Directed by Richard Tanne Writing Credits Cast (in credits order) complete, awaiting verification Produced by Music by Stephen James Taylor Cinematography by Albert Salas. Teens need to know they’re not alone in this, hence the existence of emo songs, YA novels and movies made from YA novels. It’s in both Henry’s opening and closing voice-over monologue as well as a heart-to-heart discussion between Henry and his older sister Suds (Sarah Jones).īeing a human is hard and adolescence is a doubling down on many of the same emotional traumas that plague us throughout our lives. Tanne, who tackled the relationship of a young Michelle Robinson and Barack Obama in “Southside With You,” also hits the physiological explanation of the pain of heartbreak (from which the book and movie draw their titles) pretty hard. Chemical Hearts Source Group: 2020 Category: Movies 4 characters in Chemical Hearts are available for you to type their personalities: Grace Town, Henry Page. It’s one of several aspects that detract from the otherwise well-executed movie. It makes it harder to buy into the relationship as presented and I began to wonder if Grace’s secret was that she was a woman on the run from an abusive marriage hiding out in a high school (she’s not). Abrams and Reinhart will both be 24 in September, and both are very good in their roles, but Grace has such a preternaturally mature essence that the romance feels very May-December. It’s a given that adaptations of YA titles cast actual young adults as teenagers. Henry likes to repair things and “Chemical Hearts” is the type of movie that leans into that metaphor big time. ![]() This is probably a good time to mention that Henry has an unusual hobby: kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken pottery using lacquer dusted or mixed with a powdered precious metal such as gold (it’s also the name of a Death Cab for Cutie album). ![]() Driven as much by curiosity and compassion as attraction, Henry awkwardly pursues Grace, including some stalkery behavior that may or may not creep people out. John Green meets Rainbow Rowell in this irresistible story of first love, broken hearts, and the golden seams that put them back together again. ![]()
