How It Feels

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

A tight, empathetic portrait of two brothers pulled in opposing directions by their circumstances and choices in working-class Boston. It's a film that holds both the weight of inherited struggle and the fragile possibility of breaking free from it.
