How It Feels

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

A raw, unflinching portrait of addiction and the difficult early days of recovery, grounded by genuine performances and the messiness of real change. It's a film about hitting bottom and deciding to climb back up, even when the climb is ugly and uncertain.
