POWER! He loved it! He took it raw in big gulpfuls … he liked the taste, the way it mixed with the bourbon and the sin in his blood!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A caustic, propulsive descent into the seductive danger of charisma and media manipulation, as a magnetic drifter's ruthless climb to power reveals the rot beneath American populism. Watching it is like witnessing a con man work a room, you feel the pull of his charm even as the film makes the predatory logic underneath impossible to ignore.
