How It Feels

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

A darkly comic murder mystery that doubles as a character study of ordinary people unraveling under pressure, shot through with surreal flourishes and set against the tacky, garish backdrop of a struggling amusement arcade. It's a domestic drama wearing a detective's coat, where the mystery matters less than watching everyone's lives implode.
