What to Know

Critics Consensus

Pretty stars aren't enough to make up for Purple Hearts' stereotype-riddled script and misguided approach to serious themes.

Audience Says

Purple Hearts' story will be problematic for a lot of viewers; fortunately, Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine work hard to keep things from falling apart.

The entire script is a bingo card full of politicized stereotypes.

Luke Y. Thompson

AV Club

...both Carson and Galitzine are beautiful people—presumably one of the film’s primary draws—but their love scenes convey neither heat nor emotional substance, and consequently aren’t much fun to watch.

indieWire

This super-cheap Netflix Original is so determined to satisfy the algorithm that it would lack any coherent sense of self if not for the fact that it was chiefly designed as a star vehicle for Disney Channel grad Sofia Carson.

Rated: C

Attempting to straddle many different cliches, Purple Hearts quickly loses its footing and only a soulless adaptation is left standing.

Nuha Hassan

Everything about the movie is a little too on the nose, and Netflix seems more than happy to release insipid content that panders to the lowest common denominator.

Sophia Carson and Nick Galitzine come out of nowhere to win audiences over in this touching film directed with a careful touch by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum.

Mazza W An absolute tear jerker. Makes you want to believe in true love and the ultimate decency of humanity. This is usually what Nicholas Galitzine inspires in audiences in most of his films, but here it's done maybe to the best effect, and in front of a backdrop of a script that in lesser hands could have turned into cringe worthy, politicised platitudes. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed the movie. Nicholas Galitzone did another great job; very talented actor, loving everything he does. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Confidence K I enjoyed this movie and will definitely watch it again. It was worth every bit of my time even though I think that the ending was a bit rushed, which in my opinion, is okay. The movie explains how two people fall in love from pretending to be in love. I love the main characters, Sofia Carson and Nicholas Gitzaline. I think that they really did a great job.Moreover, Cassie's song "Come back home" was really emotional. It definitely raised the hopes of the soldiers. I love it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Eva M I havent cry on movie from long time 😃... Beautiful ❤️ Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Fawn Z Yeah sorry, just all around lame. I thought Luke’s character was good and Nick did a good job. But Cassie just annoying and overacted. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Eye C A nice intention, but the end is just plain stupid, why the army believes a drug dealer and not a comdecorated marine, that almost ruins the whole movie, stupid I tell you. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
