How It Feels

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

A psychological cat-and-mouse game set in an interrogation room where truth becomes weaponized and nobody emerges uncompromised. The film traps you in a space where moral authority crumbles with every exchange.
