How It Feels

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

A grim portrait of a man caught between duty and blood, watching helplessly as the careful distance he's built from his own troubled past collapses when his son becomes entangled in crime. The film trades in moral compromise and generational damage.
