How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A morally claustrophobic drama that traps a man between the impossible choice of protecting his family or saving the town that gave him a path back from ruin. Set against the raw aftermath of the Civil War, it's a lean thriller that treats moral compromise as something that costs.
