Movie Reviews:
- Manuel São Bento: FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/musica-review-the-biggest-surprise-of-the-year-so-far/
- “Música exceeds all expectations, becoming the biggest surprise of the year to date, and serving as a showcase for Rudy Mancuso’s immeasurable talent.
- A multi-department success that elevates a semi-autobiography about love, family, and Brazilian-American culture, transcending many of the barriers of the genres it represents, and revealing the world of synesthesia in a truly cinematic manner.
- Technically impressive and thematically rich with addictive music all around and genuine chemistry among the entire cast.
- Rudy did take it higher.”
- Rating: A-
