How It Feels

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

A revisionist western that strips away the mythmaking of the frontier, following a half-breed Apache forced to use his knowledge of the harsh desert to survive and turn the tables on the posse hunting him. It's a grim, methodical reckoning that interrogates racism and the brutality of American expansion.
