How It Feels

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

A slow-burn psychological puzzle where jealousy and suspicion curdle an ordinary encounter into something sinister and unknowable. The film trusts you to sit with ambiguity and read meaning into silences.
