Wonderful film...full of realistic, thought-provoking scenes. Very relatable to our everyday experiences. The film explores themes of moving to a new home, racial challenges, coming of age and confronting one's weaknesses. It offers a nice balance between drama, humor and reality. Recommend it for any age, including young adults, who can relate to the young actors and their characters. The music choices are great; the music enhances the story and the visual. The acting--young and old--was spot on! The characters were so believable, that i fell into the story and wholeheartedly went along for the ride! I highly recommend this film!

I was able to watch this on Netflix streaming. The actors are good but it seems the filmmakers never were able to latch on to a good, inspired story. Instead we have a family moving, encountering a number of difficulties, including some family crisis moments, some brought on by the mold problem in the new house, some brought on by their furniture and things showing up late. Things get shaky then things get good without any real transition. Melanie Lynskey is the mom, Gina McNulty-Burns, an arts and photography professor. The family moves from Brooklyn to Washington State for her new opportunity in a small college. Nelsan Ellis is the dad, Mack Burns. He is a freelance writer that relies on cooking for his subjects. The son is Armani Jackson as 11-yr-old Clark Burns. He has a lighter complexion than his dad, suitable for a mixed race child, but with an "afro" hairdo which seems a bit out of place in modern times. He soon becomes friends with cute local girl, Oona Laurence as Ambrosia Reed who seems delighted that someone of color has moved into their neighborhood. The topic is good, to me it just isn't written or directed particular interestingly and the story has an arc that just doesn't always seem realistic. It is an interesting watch, just had so much more potential.

Although it has a short duration, it manages to create a plot that captures the viewer.

It tackles topics such as coming of age, sexual exploration, race and class. The acting was pretty good. Had some good cinematic shots and you definitely see the characters develop. The film did have me on my toes at times but there was always some light humour to release the tension. I love how subtle yet impactful some of the moments of emotion were in the film. From the silence, to the cut to black screen with some dialogue still going on. Interesting film to watch. However I do feel that it had the potential to deliver much more. Was missing something, not sure what.

This has comedy elements in it and is socially aware. Although some may think this does cling on to cliches too much. Whatever you may think this does seem to be an accurate depictal of the troubles and worries of raising a child. The influences the kid is under, the stress and issues parents have. It's anything but overloaded though. It does have music in it, that some may find offensive, especially in connection with young kids. But it's not like this is far from reality. And the movie does not offer you solutions in the traditional sense or any of that stuff. So while the cliche argument may be true, you can't fault the movie for being too sensitive and "cute". The acting is really good and there is a lot to love of the movie

Started slowly and kept hitting bumps along the way to an uninspired ending. Snore.

Too bad that they tried to pass the location off as Washington when it's clear from the outset all was filmed in New York. (The 914 area code on an awning certainly gives it away.)

Good acting and writing. Great casting. Realistic plot.

Hussein ChourDec 24, 2024

Well done! The movie touched on a few things in a smart, realistic way, instead of going for shock value. I laughed a lot and really enjoyed this family.

16 July 2017: I see all and support All Interracial movies and t.v shows between men and women. What I wish is that movies would sometimes show Interracial men/women couples as other than just Black & White {African American-Caucasian American}. We need to show mixed race couples of how American really is Not just Black & White couples, but also Hispanic and Caucasian or Asian and African American or African American and East Indian or Middle Eastern as in Israeli or Egyptian Arabs married to a Black or White American. Those mixed couples do exist in real life too. This on is Not the best Interracial flick, but not that bad. I liked the talented kids the most, young child actress, Oona Laurence is great in her role as Ambrosia and the other young girl who played her friend and young Armani Jackson as "clark" were good. The adults in the cast were okay. Okay for red box or Lifetime channel t.v movie. Two things that that I did NOT like in this film. One during the scene where the little girl, Ambrosia finds out that Clark's mom is White and she runs off angrily to her room. Anyone over the age of 10 can clearly see when a person is obviously Biracial if his or her skin town is very light, but with other features such as hair texture. Anyone can clearly see that Clark is Not all Black. I am fed up and tired of seeing movies where a Biracial {black-white} kid or adult is only referred to only as Black. It takes two adults (man & woman} to make a baby and if one of the adults is of another race then the child is of both races and that is in the DNA. Biracial people are Not just one race, they are both races. Oona's role as Ambrosia is very smart, outgoing and precocious for her age. So she should Not have been shocked to find his mom is Caucasian/White. Also, he did not act like a kid from an all black poor street ghetto with bad English full of street slangs. Clark's diction is proper. It just did not make any sense for Ambrosia to freak out and get angry because he is Biracial. A boy his age is going to be curious about the opposite sex and since his dad nor mom had the "Talk" with him yet, he is finding out on his own. So his mom should Not have been so shocked when she sees a bikini magazine or poster on his wall. It is just time to give the boy the "Talk". Next thing, there is No way a kid his age should be having a girlfriend at his age. He could have a crush on a girl, maybe. Perhaps, he was just bragging to his cousin or not when he ran off angrily after the white mom scene. Over all, I give this film one thumb up and a 7. A much better young Interracial Love story is "Everything-Everything" starring Amandla Stenberg.
