'''''Dating Amber''''' is a 2020 Irish coming-of-age film directed by David Freyne.

The pair are in very different places: Eddie is still figuring himself out in deep denial and seems resigned to a life of repression in the military; Amber knows who she is and awaits the end of school so she can get to London, be herself, and open "an anarchist bookshop with franchise potential".
