How It Feels

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

A meticulously crafted period mystery that watches Sherlock Holmes' creator pursue a real-life injustice with the same fierce logic he gave his fictional detective. It's a thoughtful, slowly unfolding examination of prejudice and redemption set against Edwardian England.
