How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously assembled true crime drama that peels back the mythology around Ruth Ellis's case to examine the woman behind the tragedy and the system that condemned her. This is a portrait of quiet devastation rather than sensationalism.
