I like this a lot. It's really sweet.

| Original Score: 7.4/10 | Nov 21, 2020

Not all of the ancillary characters and their stories are fully developed in the film's quick 92 minutes, but "Dating Amber" convincingly channels the angst and awkwardness that can be a part of teenagers' struggles with their identity.

Freyne's feature is a major LGBTQ find, a crowd-pleaser that doesn't compromise.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 11, 2020

The film rather seamlessly strips itself of its hyperbolic affectations to reveal a heartbreaking story of emancipation through friendship.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 19, 2020

Finally, Freyne has given us a romantic comedy in which the gay best friends are the leads, and it's all the richer for it.

Very well-played, with sharply-drawn characters, believable situations...

One could teach a class on romantic-comedy structure using David Freyne's agreeable second feature as sole template.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 8, 2020

Parallel journeys dispense with a one-size-fits-all coming-out narrative and are handled with a lightness of touch by Irish writer and director David Freyne.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2020

[A] cute and quasi-autobiographical rom-com set in Ireland in the mid-1990s.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2020

For me, this needed a bit more of an original spark.
