How It Feels

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

A methodical, unflinching look at how society fractures under pandemic pressure. Contagion is less interested in heroics than in the grinding bureaucratic and human scramble to contain both virus and terror.

Contagian is incredible conflicting.
On one hand its a pretty good look into a world that doesn't know how to handle such a viruse and the outbreak it causes BUT its mixed with (aside from one sweet storyline with matt damon and his daughter) incredibly dull characters.
I mean sure the performances are good but....man idk.
