Described as “2020’s best coming of age drama” the film has been very well received thus far. Praised for its razor sharp wit and emotional depth, the central relationship between the duo is “Selfless and courageous, and utterly infectious”. “Dating Amber gives great cathartic scope. Not just to the generation it portrays, but to the new one that—seeing stories like this—might not need to hide.”
