A tender, sweet and fortifying portrayal of queer teenage love, and advocates for a version of the world in which that is unquestioned.

It's [Oseman's] story to end, and in choosing to uphold its sensationalimagining of the world as it could be, “Heartstopper Forever” doubles down on the idea that we can make it the way that it should be.

4/5

Following the same contours as the beloved TV series, this film caps off Nick and Charlie's high school years to tell a coming-of-age story while remaining sweet and gentle.

We wish all the characters we’ve come to love the same joy they gave to us in the last three years. Can first love be forever? “Heartstopper” made us believe that it can.

Moving and thought provoking as always. Fantastic curation of indie songs as the soundtrack. Heartstopper has a been a breath of fresh air for the last few years now. I will miss it.

what a disappointment.... if you're not a die-hard fan of heartstopper and the actors, it's honestly a waste of time. it lacks any depth; the movie format causes the story to be only about charlie and nick, the other characters are basically npcs who care about nothing but nick and charlie's problems. also the visual aspect didn't work for me this time, it was all over the place, the colours got the typical netflix treatment. overall, it was an underwhelming experience and i think they should've stuck to the series format...

I did not like it. No real plot, predictable in a bad way, horrific color grading. The show was so amazing, so I’m disappointed.
