Chemical Hearts

[Opens Aug. 21 on Amazon Prime Video.] When a smart, virginal, seventeen-year-old high school senior (Austin Abrams), who lives with his parents (Bruce Altman and Meg Gibson) and sister in New Jersey, finds himself coeditor of his high school newspaper with an attractive, melancholy, cane-using, fish-feeding new transfer student (Lili Reinhart) in this touching, low-key, realistic, coming-of-age, down-to-earth, star-dotted (J. J. Pyle, Sarah Jones, C. J. Hoff, and Kara Young), romantic, 93-minute film based on Krystal Sutherland's novel Our Chemical Hearts, he quickly becomes smitten with the traumatized, guilt-ridden senior who was severally injured in a car accident that tragically killed her boyfriend.
