How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A spirited coming-of-age film that finds grace and exhilaration in the collision between a working-class boy's artistic awakening and the gritty social struggle surrounding him. It's tender without being sentimental, funny without being cute, and genuinely moving in its portrayal of one child refusing to fit the mold expected of him.
