How It Feels

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

A pre-code melodrama with teeth: a hardened mother schemes to protect her son from a world that failed her, raising him in cynical self-interest rather than vulnerability. It's a grim, unflinching look at how poverty and abandonment calcify the heart.
