Música — Stream on Prime Video
Prime Video
Rudy's an artist with synesthesia, which means he finds the music in everything. It sounds like fun at first glance, until it starts messing with his daily life.

My favorite fact about this movie is that Rudy Mancuso is Camila Mendes' boyfriend IRL!

Challengers — Rent on Amazon Prime Video

Kinds of Kindness — In Theaters Now
Searchlight Pictures
Kinds of Kindness is an anthology movie, which means it ties three different stories (with the same cast members) together into one cinematic experience. Each story is all about love, longing, and revenge, and TBH, it's not for the faint of heart. If you're squeamish like me, be prepared!
