Lili Reinhart calls her own shots. And makes her own calls.
It’s jarring when a big-name talent arrives for an interview on their own — either in-person or via the telephone or Zoom — because it almost never happens. Not without the buffer of publicists, assistants, handlers, and other assorted hangers-on. Reinhart calls me, right on time. No one patches her through. No one else is on the line. That’s a surprising move, particularly for the “Riverdale” and “Hustlers” star who has earned a reputation for being outspoken when left to her own devices (often literally).
In May, the actress and producer made headlines when she took to Instagram after the Met Gala to talk about how upset she was to see so many celebrities “starving” themselves in the name of fashion. “To walk on a red carpet and do an interview where you say how starving you are… because...

I love romance movies, so when I heard Amazon Prime Video was releasing a new movie starring Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams, I was super excited. Based on the book by Krystal Sutherland, Chemical Hearts tells the story of Henry (Abrams) and Grace (Reinhart), two high schoolers who meet through coincidence and fate during their senior year. Henry, an aspiring writer and journalist, falls for Grace almost immediately, but those feelings aren't always reciprocated the other way around.
On a surface level the movie is enjoyable, but there is one huge issue in the film: Henry's male savior complex.
From the beginning, it's clear Grace is troubled, though it's not immediately evident why. She rarely smiles, doesn't engage in conversations, and offers little insight into her life before she transferred to Henry's school. As the movie - and their relationship - progresses, we start to understand Grace's past more and more.

Based on Krystal Sutherland's novel Our Chemical Hearts, Amazon Prime's romantic drama Chemical Hearts tells the heart-rending story of high school student Grace (Lili Reinhart), who suffers a traumatic loss, and 17-year-old hopeless romantic Henry (Austin Abrams), who helps her heal from it. When Grace and Henry first meet, he catches her highlighting lines in a book, which happens to be Pablo Neruda's 100 Love Sonnets. The lines she highlights read:
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
In the poem, Neruda describes the intense love he feels and how it surpasses any previous definition of what he thought it was, something Grace knows all too well. Throughout the film, Grace often references this poem, and she even ends up lending Henry a copy of her book. While the sonnet was originally written in Spanish, it has since been translated to English,...

Chemical Hearts stars Lili Reinhart ("Riverdale'), Austin Abrams ("Euphoria"), Kara Young and Coral Peña ("The Enemy Within"). Based on the book by Krystal Sutherland, Kara and Coral play high school teens who are friends with the main protagonist Henry. While Henry falls for his mysterious new classmate Grace (Reinhart), La (Young) and Cora (Peña), figure out their own relationship as gay, yet it's far more simple in comparison to the complicated love affair between Henry and Grace. The actress talk about the significance of portraying LGBTQ characters in a film aimed at young adults.

The MPAA has long placed teen movies in a tricky bind: When they reflect the lives of their young target audience a little too relatably, they’re slapped with a rating that excludes the very demographic they’re about. It’s an irony that corners too many films in the genre into a safely sanitized PG-13 space, clean and cute and not entirely real. That “Chemical Hearts” has bitten the bullet and accepted an R initially bodes well: Unafraid of depicting casual teenage swearing, drug-taking and modest sexual activity, Richard Tanne’s melancholic, tastefully presented romance promises a more mature, impressionistic take on standard adolescent rites of passage. It’s going out on Amazon Prime, after all: Who’s going to keep the kids away?
Yet for all its serious-faced surface grit, “Chemical Hearts” never quite rings true. There’s a lot of solemn pondering here on the disorienting nature of so-called “teenage limbo,...

Don’t call “Chemical Hearts” a Ya romance?
True, on paper, the story of a precocious teenager named Henry who becomes emotionally entangled with Grace, a psychologically wounded young woman, sounds very much in the vein of “The Fault in Our Stars” or “Looking for Alaska.” But Richard Tanne, the film’s writer and director, said that what drew him to “Chemical Hearts” was its underlining sense of melancholy and its willingness to deconstruct certain cliches of the genre.
The film, which begins streaming on Amazon Prime on Aug. 21, marks Tanne’s followup to 2016’s “Southside With You,” a romantic drama that received acclaim for the audacity with which it imagined Barack and Michelle Obama’s first date. The movie marked Tanne’s directorial debut.

Written and directed by Richard Tanne, Chemical Hearts is based on the book Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland. The film sees Lili Reinhart (Riverdale and Hustlers) as Grace Town and Austin Abrams as Henry Page, with Reinhart also serving as an executive producer alongside Sutherland and Jamin O’Brien.
Chemical Hearts is a story about Henry Page, a 17-year-old high school student who has his eye on becoming the next Editor-in chief of his school newspaper. His life seems ‘normal’, mundane and simple. However, he believes he is a hopeless romantic even though he’s never actually been in love before. One day he meets transfer student Grace Town, and from the get go, you know she has a story to tell, with her quietness and the resilience she has for keeping personal information just that – personal. They are automatically drawn to each other with their love and passion for literature,...

Los Angeles, Aug 20 (Ians) Actress Lili Reinhart has turned producer, and she says she loved the experience because it gave her a chance to build something from ground up.
Reinhart has executive-produced the upcoming film "Chemical Hearts", where she stars with Austin Abrams. The film is based on the novel "Our Chemical Hearts" by Krystal Sutherland.
"I loved helping to build something from the ground up. Being an executive producer meant I was incredibly involved from the very beginning, to make sure that this project came together in the best way that it could," Reinhart said.
"When (writer-director) Rich (Richard Tanne) and I met, we really clicked. It was very cool to realise we had the same vision for the movie. We both wanted the movie to have the depth and tone that the book has," she added.
"Chemical Hearts" is about a hopelessly romantic high school senior, who falls for a mysterious new classmate.

A heart-wrenching story of first love, loss and a journey of self-discovery, Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming film Chemical Hearts, will strike a chord among all teen-dramas. Starring Lili Reinhart as Grace Town and Austin Abrams as Henry Page in the lead, the coming of age film aims to capture the thrills, disappointments and confusion of being a teenager.
Speaking of having to play a different character from her previous roles, the Riverdale famed actress Lili Reinhart says, “I loved that it was not what you expect when talking about a teen love story. It seemed a lot deeper than many other young adult romances out there. It’s more raw and grounded in grief.

A high-school story tackling a complex and painful relationship with familiar tropes riddled with cliche
The Ya genre has evolved in an eerie parallel-world to high school comedies, a solemn Jekyll to comedy’s Hyde. The latter are mostly more accurate, insightful and compassionate about what being young is actually like – and the real-world Ya feels to me insipid compared with the fantasies of Stephenie Meyer. Here is another in the young-adult style, with its familiar tics and tropes, directed by Richard Tanne (who gave us the likable Obama first date drama Southside With You) and adapted by him from Krystal Sutherland’s bestseller.

Soft boys, assemble! since February’s “All the Bright Places” has finally arrived, and it is not holding back. This movie has it all: An affluent teenage introvert who’s desperately waiting for something interesting to happen to him, a mysterious blonde transfer student named Grace Town(!) whose pronounced limp suggests a tragic past, a wistful voiceover track laced with pearls of wisdom like “you are never more alive than when you’re a teenager,” a queer Black best friend character who spends the whole film making out with her girlfriend in the background, so much Beach House on the soundtrack that you can practically feel the sand between your toes (one of the band’s songs even becomes a plot point), and an overreliance on a flimsy metaphor that’s meant to trigger some kind of profound understanding — in this case, the idea that heartbreak causes the same bodily response as physical pain.

Set some time away this weekend to watch Chemical Hearts on Amazon Prime.
Starring Lili Reinhart (who also executive produces) and Austin Abrams, the movie follows young love at its most beautiful and most painful.
"You're never more alive than when you're a teenager," the trailer posits. "Your brain is flush with chemicals that can turn your life into a story of epic proportions." But by the start of his senior year, nothing wonderful had happened to Henry Page (Abrams).
It's the kind of magic on which teenagers for millennia have used as they search for their own epic stories. It can be as damning to a young soul as it is freeing to imagine there is a big world out there, but you're not yet a part of it.
Henry has looked forward to his last year in high school for the chance to edit the school paper, a...
