All Together Now

There have been many coming of age films, but this one was more emotionally expansive and well put together. I haven't read the novel, but may have to now if it's written as well as this screenplay. I'm not sure if my popcorn munching made me miss this, but what happened to her dad? If it was left out, it was a big error. Directing was great, and the cinematography and soundtrack were on point. The 92 min runtime was just right with the fair pacing. Casting was perfect, with Auli'i Cravalho nailing her role. It was a great fit to see the legendary Carol Burnett, and Fred Armisen. I certainly recommend this film, especially to all the teens out there who complain their life is hard - because they didn't get the newest iPhone first lol. It's a good reality check that is humbling with real world struggles. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

A film that makes light of itself. Not bad at all. We enjoyed this as much as you can enjoy an average film. Resilient film with very little over-acting. Most of it was believable.

This is a beautiful story about hope, family, relationships, life, and friendship. The lead actress was amazing, and brought a lot of depth to her character.

In spite of the being very hard to believe, i mean a mother and her daughter live in a school bus, and the girl sleeping on a bench and refusing anyone to help her, and she remains strangely happy, but the final part of the film had a good message to tell, about letting the people who care about you, give you a hand when you need it the most. But it was a little hard identifying with the story with this strange events, usually people ask for help when they really need it, while the lead character Amber doesn't believe in that. The fact that Amber only sang one song" Feels like home", while she could've at least sang another one at the talent show , makes no sense and is such a lost opportunity. She did such a great job in "Moana" and it was nice seeing her here in a live action film, but sadly the script wasn't that good. But the cast did a good job, and Carol Burnett was a special addition to the team.

I'm just going to start off and say the acting in this movie is amazing! Auli'i knocks it out of the park in both acting and singing as well as the rest of the cast. I'm not going to sugarcoat this but I literally cried the whole movie, it teaches you to have hope in the hardest of times and just to never give up on your dreams because if you keep going you will get there as long as you want it enough. Now don't mind me just going to be listening to Feels Like Home 24/7. 10/10 Definitely Recommend!
