How It Feels

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

A vibrant celebration of teenage friendship and vitality in 1960s Chicago that gradually darkens as false accusation and systemic injustice intrude on the carefree world of its characters. It captures the luminous joy of youth while unflinchingly showing how quickly everything can change.
