All Together Now | Film Review
This has been on my to-watch list for a really long time. The premise immediately attracted me to the story, and I'm really glad that I finally got the chance to see it. Amber (Auli'i Cravalho) is preparing to go to college while keeping a huge secret - she is homeless and lives on the school bus that her mother drives. But as Amber's life spirals out of control, will she be able to keep her secret? I loved this film. I had no idea it would be as powerful as it was. The characters that make up this film are all great. Not only do they all feel really important to the progression of Amber's story, but they're all great characters in their own right. And while this is true of Amber's friends, this is particularly true for her mother. Amber's mother, Becky, is played by Justina Machado, and there is such good chemistry between the two actors. Their relationship, particularly early on in the film, is the heart of the movie, and I loved watching them. My favourit...
