How It Feels

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

A darkly comedic true-crime documentary that spirals into increasingly surreal territory as it follows an eccentric woman's all-consuming attachment to a chimp and her escalating cat-and-mouse battle with authorities. It's equal parts tragicomedy and genuine unease about what happens when love becomes dangerous delusion.
