How It Feels

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

A darkly comedic descent into a protagonist's unraveling sanity, where the gap between public success and private collapse widens into something genuinely disorienting. It's tragicomic in the most unsettling sense, funny and painful in nearly equal measure.
