How It Feels

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

A lurid courtroom thriller wrapped around a sexually charged power game where everyone has something to hide and the truth becomes irrelevant. The film luxuriates in suspicion and seduction as much as in guilt or innocence.
