Ode to Passion is a 2020 American musical romantic drama film starring Giuseppe Bausilio, Julia Nightingale, Jeff Smith and Victoria Meade.

In New York City, a young writer's resolute belief in true love is put to the test by a beautiful girl and her struggle with addiction.

[2] Director Jack Danini makes a cameo as one of the friends John, Richi and Father Conor play poker with.

"[12] Peter Debruge of Variety was also positive about the film, writing "Allegedly 20 years in the making, Ode to Passion is simultaneously a celebration of love at first sight and a more jaded look at the way relationships play out.

It’s not as ingenious as Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years, which set its core couple moving in opposite directions.

Embrace the cheese and writer-director Jack Danini’s indie rock musical — set in New York and written entirely in verse — just might win you over.

We also are dragged to the lowest of lows in scenes with stark lighting contrasts as their relationship suffers its many downs.
