100%TomatometerSome things are too good to shelve.
LITTLE DREAMERS · BIG FEELINGS
Even in Dreams.
A grieving singer follows her sister’s songs toward a dream of her own.
After losing her older sister Amber, Sam begins singing with Amber’s band and helps carry their music to Nashville. A manager offers the group a quick route toward success, but her demands put their friendships and priorities under strain. Sam must decide what honoring her sister means when the opportunity she wanted threatens the people and music she loves.
Why it’s a little special
An independent musical drama that uses a band’s first taste of success to explore grief, loyalty and the difference between pursuing a dream and letting someone else define it.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
The official US PG rating cites some language and a suggestive reference. The death of a sister and the family’s grief drive the story. Manipulation by a music manager, disagreements within the band and romantic tensions may need context for younger viewers. This is an emotional drama with songs rather than a light concert film.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
