How It Feels

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

A wry portrait of a middle-aged ex-con trying to reclaim his life while wrestling with impulses toward vengeance. It's funny and tender in equal measure, never quite deciding which side of forgiveness its protagonist will land on.
