How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A morally complex tale of childhood friendship fractured by divergent paths, one into crime, one into faith, that collide with devastating consequences in the tenement streets. It's a character study wrapped in gangster noir, where the real tragedy lies not in the violence but in the roads not taken.
