How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm, character-driven story about creative rebirth and unexpected connection in New York City. It's earnest and gently funny, unfolding through music and the gradual rebuilding of two people's lives after heartbreak.

Reviews
I love this mostly-feel-good non-romcom. I love how Keira Knightley looks effortlessly fantastic in all clothes, and I love a disheveled Mark Ruffalo. I love the music.
I don't love Adam Levine or Cee-Lo. They're not in it enough for me to hold that against it, but it's worth stating.
