How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling Southern tale that weaves together an abused woman's reckless pursuit of reinvention with her nephew's reckoning with injustice and racism in 1950s Alabama. The film toggles between rebellion and heartbreak, finding dark humor and genuine emotion in the collision between personal liberation and systemic corruption.
