With more and more streaming services taking precedence now, we have almost forgotten about YouTube (until there’s a cat on a piano video, that is). But YouTube still has some beautiful gems of movies that don’t come out on any other platform. And the best part about them? They’re always free to stream! So give your Netflix account a much-needed break and check out these super interesting picks instead!

This is a complex relationship as both themes deal with real struggles and vulnerable stories. So watch this 100-minute movie for a very unique take on understanding a complex connection!
