How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic portrait of adolescent pain that builds methodically toward explosive violence. The film treats Carrie's powers as a metaphor for the destructive force of years spent powerless, bullied, and suffocated.
