How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut procedural about a prosecutor fighting institutional pressure to convict the wrong man, anchored by moral conviction in the face of convenient scapegoating. The film's power lies in its restraint and its refusal to let anyone, not the DA, not the town, not the viewer, off the hook for the truth.
