Música
RT Score: 96%
Age rating: PG-13
Length: 91 minutes
Director: Rudy Mancuso
Música is a coming-of-age romantic comedy with a unique twist. Set in a Brazilian neighborhood in Newark, this loosely autobiographical story of the writer and star Rudy Mancuso sees him play a street performer who has synesthesia and can "personify sounds, feel shapes and see music".
While Rudy's girlfriend struggles to deal with his condition, he soon meets Isabella (Camila Mendes) and what comes next is a burst of musical performances as he navigates the pressures of love, family and his Brazilian culture. Música is a magical insight into Rudy's overwhelming yet fascinating mind that's forever creating art even when he doesn't want to.
The Burial
RT Score: 92%
Age rating: R
Length: 126 minutes
Director: Margaret Betts
This slick, smart courtroom drama is inspired by true events as The Burial sees eccentric personal injury lawyer Willie E. Gary (Jamie Foxx) help his financially troubled client, a funeral home owner Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) save his family business from a corporate titan that's threatening his livelihood.
The Burial may be a legal drama with a spine-tingling narrative that explores timely issues, but it still delivers on laughs and compelling performances that keep you hooked even when they're reciting the law.
Nanny
RT Score: 90%
Age rating: R
Length: 98 minutes
Director: Nikyatu Jusu
