How It Feels

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

A darkly comic exploration of broken ambition and inherited trauma, where a damaged man attempts to remake a cursed landmark and finds his own unraveling mirrored in its decay. It's equally a satire of American enterprise and a portrait of loneliness running out of places to hide.
