How It Feels

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

A taut psychological mystery that unfolds like a courtroom procedural but gradually becomes a profound examination of trauma, faith, and the unreliability of memory. The film creates moral uncertainty that deepens with each revelation.
