How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutal, unflinching portrait of domestic captivity and the aftermath of war, where a woman is trapped caring for a traumatized war hero who becomes her tormentor. The film's claustrophobic intensity and refusal to look away creates an experience that is deeply difficult but unquestionably important.
