How It Feels

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

A grim, sprawling portrait of an aging hero clawing his way back to relevance in a city that's rotted further without him. The mood is oppressive and deliberately paced, built on heavy shadows and heavier themes about what a man owes when the world still needs him.
