My first Rails app: Movie Tell

So I finally completed my first Rails app. As it's my first app, I know I've got some things wrong here or there and I could use some advice from more experienced Rails developers. You can find the app here: https://github.com/danieljaouen/movie_tell And the associated site here: https://movie-tell.com I built the site so that I could easily share movie recommendations with friends. As it stands, a standard workflow would look something like: - sign up to the site - search users for a friend or family member's email address - "friend" that user (the user also needs to "friend" you back once they've received your friend request) - search for a movie you want to share (courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes' API) - click on the movie's "detail" page - check the friends you want to recommend the movie to, then click "submit" One thing I should note here is that my front-end skills are practically nonexistent, so though I appreciate any and all feedback, please try to stick to the critiquing the backend code if possible. Thanks!
