How It Feels

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

A locked-room whodunit that treats its murder mystery premise as an elaborate joke, mixing genuine suspense with rapid-fire comedy and enough silliness to keep you from taking any of it seriously.

If I had seen this when I was younger, it would have been one of those childhood movies watched on repeat and burned into my memory and heart forever. Watching it for the first time now, I liked it a lot, and I can just appreciate the life we could have had together if things had been different.

The triple ending is fun.
