      Rosana B Baseado em eventos reais sobre a amizade entre duas garotas, em um intercambio em que Piper Dellum uma garota negra dos Estados Unidos, recebe em sua residência por 4 meses Mahree Bok, uma garota branca da África do Sul do apartheid, no ano de 1977, que aprendem sobre tolerância e amizade, um filme lindíssimo, apaixonante, emocionante, necessário, isso nos anos 2000, mas necessário ainda, apesar que não estamos mentalmente distantes dos dias sombrios do Apartheid, nojento e vergonhoso… Chorei, dolorido... Filme simples e maravilhoso... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review Audience Member Everyone should see this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review andy h It starts off with exaggeration, but it without a doubt shows itself as the most mature DCOM to ever grace the screen for families. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the most grounded DCOM to ever be made with its natural well spoken narrative and heart wrenching topics being expressed with organic characters. Color of Friendship really doesn't hold back on what it wants to present. Based on actual events this movie seamlessly transition to this medium for children. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Disney Channel at their boldest when brilliantly addressing serious social issues in beginning enlightenment and adapting a new structure from classical recognition, which is where unintentional humor occasionally spurs from, to a finely-delivered story while building up the heart with timelessly relevant meaningful revelatory and excellent performances towards a dated script that is bothered by inevitable awkwardness. (B+) (Full review TBD) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member An emotional movie about black and white coming together!

      Ramin Zahed Variety Since the film is based on actual events, Paris Qualles' script and thesps' overall work have stronger emotional resonance than the usual "A dream is a wish your heart makes"-type pics airing on the Mouse cabler. Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Times Cutesy interludes don't diminish the movie's impact. "The Color of Friendship" is certainly one of the better films you'll see on the channel, and certainly worth setting aside family tube time. Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Paul Schultz New York Daily News The performances are wonderful, and when politics arise it seems natural. Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media Smart Disney drama tackles race and apartheid; racist slurs. Rated: 4/5 Jun 1, 2020 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Examines the efforts of an African American teenager and a white exchange student from South Africa to dismantle the walls of hate and misunderstanding that separate them.
