How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A jarring collision between the glossy myth-making of American patriotism and the raw, fragmentary truth of combat trauma. The film bounces between triumphalist spectacle and brutal memory, leaving you feeling unmoored and slightly nauseated in the best way.
