In spite of their many differences, struggling singer-songwriter Cassie (Sofia Carson) and Luke (Nicholas Galitzine), a marine with a troubled past, agree to marriage solely for the military benefits. When tragedy strikes, the line between what's real and what's pretend begins to blur in this romantic drama.

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. Go to Full Review

...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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

I wanted to like “Purple Hearts,” but this Netflix film isn’t a feel-good love story. It’s just right-wing propaganda. Go to Full Review
Pallavi Keswani The Hindu 01/23/2024
Attempting to straddle many different cliches, Purple Hearts quickly loses its footing and only a soulless adaptation is left standing. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Phoebe B. @phoebe08 23h It's rare that I go out of my way to watch a romance, but stumbling upon Purple Hearts on Netflix was rewarding in more ways than one. To me, this film was brain candy; a simple, easy to follow plot steeped in emotional richness and subtle political commentary explored beautifully through the hopelessly romantic characters of marine heart thob Luke (Nicholas Galitzine) and feisty singer-songwriter Cassie (Sofia Carson). Although both are endlessly flawed and at times more different than alike, you can't help but root for the young couple from the get-go. I heard this film backhandedly described as a "wet dream for moderates" but, honestly, a little in between is exactly what I needed right now. See more James K @Plutarch 4d The critics are wrong about this one, as they so commonly are. Its a cute, approachable story that speaks to how people actually are. Not how Elites want to pretend people are or act. Love doesn't make sense, ever, and this is a good example of that. The characters are basic and stereotypical but guess what, thats how people actually are: basic. Nuisance is exceedingly rare. Good acting all around and a coherent script. Its a movie that shows different kinds of Americans can live together as long as they are both smoking hot 10s. Lol See more Lalie B @Laliebanny Apr 10 Purple heart was directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum. The main characters are Luke and Cassie. The actors embody this roles are Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine. The film tell a story of a girl who do a false marriage with a military for touch money in order to pay for medecines for her diabetes. Purple Heart is a profundly beautiful movie. The plot is very absorbing and the love story is very touching. In my opinion, the photography is really impressive and the acting performance is natural. For me the writing script is realistic and touch our heart with an emotional story. I find, this movie is absolutely incredible. I recommend this film to anyone who loves love story. If you haven't seen in yet, you need to see it. See more Sam H @moviesarethebest379 Feb 11 I liked this movie a lot! Very heartfelt and absolutely loved Cassie's singing. Yes, there is some stereotypical tweaks, but overall I thought it was a great romance watch. See more Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ Feb 1 Me tomo mas de tres años para ver esta pelicula pero valió la pena. Me gusto la conexión que tenían los protagonistas y como pasaron de odiarse a amarse. See more Ally C @AnneMarie0 Jan 26 I don't know why people are hating on it so much. It's honestly a normal life (vocabulary wise) and it's hypocritical for the other people reviewing a 0-3 to say it's bad. 5/5. See more Read all reviews
