Amber Brown is a charming little film that aims to tackle the tough stuff of growing up. Watching Amber navigate her parents' split and losing her best friend is both relatable and a bit heavy for a kids' movie.

Watching Amber navigate her parents' split and losing her best friend is both relatable and a bit heavy for a kids' movie. The story unfolds in a way that feels genuine, but at times, it can be a tad predictable. The performances are solid, especially from the young actress playing Amber, who delivers her lines with an endearing sincerity. However, while the film has its heart in the right place, it occasionally leans too much into its message about gratitude and emotional expression, which might feel a bit heavy-handed for some. Still, if you’re looking for a film that sparks conversation about feelings and friendship, Amber Brown does the job, though it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Show less
