How It Feels

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

A meticulous portrait of moral rot, where the line between law enforcement and criminality dissolves in the murky underbelly of 1980s Boston. It's a coldly compelling descent into how ambition and institutional corruption transform people into monsters.
