How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comedic portrait of vanity and the damage caused by chasing external validation at any cost. It's funny and sad in equal measure, following a woman's descent into increasingly desperate choices to win a pageant crown.
