How It Feels

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

A quietly devastating portrait of a gifted teenager caught between the transformative power of poetry and the dangerous blurring of boundaries with an authority figure. Watching it unfolds with increasing dread as initial mentorship curdles into something far more complicated.
