How It Feels

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

A witty, talky romance that digs into how desire and identity collide when three people find themselves entangled. It's thoughtful and messy in equal measure, with the kind of earnest vulnerability buried under sharp banter that defines Kevin Smith's best work.
