Young Lucas lives with his religious Aunt Lourdes in a quiet country town, helping her by playing hymnals on his keyboard for their weekly church meetings at their house. However when the charitable aunt announces the arrival of her nephew Mario, a distant cousin Lucas never knew about, fresh out of jail, things start to get interesting. The clash of reality between the cousins ends up causing unusual situations, and an unexpected attraction between the boys. (TLA Releasing US)

For the first ten minutes I felt like I was watching an overly theatrical Christian performance, but that changed, and eventually Cousins turned out to be a pleasantly goofy "cou-mance" (i.e. cousin-romance), spiced with a touch of drama. The two leads had the requisite chemistry, the aunt was likeable, and Julia was a chapter unto herself. Alongside this, I liked the soundtrack - though the music sounded quite peculiar during the final "reveal". In the end, although Cousins brings nothing new to its genre, it captivates with its sometimes exceedingly bizarre atmosphere.
