How It Feels

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

A slow-burn psychological thriller set in the insular world of an elite boarding school, where a newcomer discovers that beneath the veneer of tradition and propriety lies something far more sinister. Watching it is like being gradually pulled into a web of jealousy and manipulation where the rules are never quite clear.
