How It Feels

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

A dazzling musical that uses nightclub excess and theatrical glamour as both escape and denial, even as fascism tightens its grip outside the stage door. The film seduces you into the performers' world of pleasure and transgression, then pivots toward the horror they're dancing away from.

"So do I" --- I KNEW IT! They did this on the Gossip Girl reboot, but with a much different ending, ALSO with a character named Max. 👀

It's kind of weird though to alternate between "This is fun; I'm having fun!" and Nazis though.
