How It Feels

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

A disorienting descent into a teenager's fractured reality where the line between simulated horror and actual crime collapses in deeply troubling ways. The film traps you in uncertainty alongside its protagonist, never quite letting you know what's real.
