How It Feels

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

A magical fable about the disorientation and wonder of growing up, told with genuine warmth and humor. Tom Hanks embodies the odd grace of a child's mind in an adult's body, making the film both hilarious and unexpectedly melancholic.
