How It Feels

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

A glittering, intimate portrait of a doomed love affair between two men navigating fame, desire, and the cost of keeping secrets. It's lush and seductive, but darkened by the imbalance at its core.

this more like it.
its second hour is definitly a bit slow but i really enjoyed the characters and both main performances.
micheal douglas is really charming in his role and him and matt damon are gay/bisexual, can i ask for more?
