How It Feels

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

A stylish portrait of a virtuoso con man facing the end of his remarkable run, told with the same charm and wit that made his crimes possible. It's a playful cat-and-mouse game with consequences, where you can't help but admire the skill even as you watch the house of cards collapse.
