How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A romantic comedy that treats reincarnation as both cosmic joke and genuine emotional predicament: a man falling in love with his own daughter while mourning his lost wife, all played for laughs until suddenly it isn't. It's earnestly trying to have it both ways, between farce and heartache, and the tonal whiplash is where the real movie lives.
