How It Feels

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

A precisely observed domestic crisis spirals into moral ambiguity, where every character's choices feel both sympathetic and indefensible. The film trusts you to sit with uncomfortable questions rather than offering easy answers.
