Based on writer, director and star Rudy Mancuso, Música is a coming-of-age love story that follows an aspiring creator with synesthesia, who must come to terms with an uncertain future, while navigating the pressures of love, family and his Brazilian culture in Newark, New Jersey.

Critics Consensus

Rudy Mancuso's use of magical realism elevates Música, infusing its familiar narrative framework with a bracingly personal touch.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

“Música” might seem like it’s hitting beats we’ve grown accustomed to, but Mancuso’s sweet, soulful feature debut doesn’t follow in others’ footsteps. What a gem.

Rated: 3/4

Now that Mancuso has gotten his origin story out onto the screen, it’s exciting to wonder what a sophomore effort could entail for him. For now, “Música” has earned him his filmmaking stripes.

For all that creativity and technical wizardry, the most impressive thing about Música is that, if you’ve been paying attention to Mancuso’s work, nothing present in the movie is entirely new.

San Antonio Current

The romantic comedy genre is given a significant boost of creativity and charm with Música. While there’s some typical rom-com comfort to be found, the movie consciously avoids cliches and plays to its own syncopated beat.

Rated: B+

By the end of Música, you will walk away from the viewing experience not only blown away by the film’s visuals but deeply impressed by Mancuso’s talent as an artist.

Rated: 4/5

Film Feeder

Música is a charming feature debut for filmmaker/star Rudy Mancuso, who conveys his synaesthesia through an engaging and impeccably crafted directorial style amidst a formulaic but engaging rom-com template.

Rated: 4/5

Great movie, but I didn't like the pacing. At some points, it was too slow, and then the ending came so fast that it was hard to fully appreciate.

Absolutely beautiful; exactly what one would expect from Rudy Mancuso, although one would wish it was longer.
