How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A woman's romantic devotion to a charismatic but deeply troubled younger man becomes increasingly fraught with doubt and unease. This is a relationship drama that mines genuine psychological complexity from the question of whether love can heal or is naive in the face of serious mental illness.
