How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately fragmented portrait of burnout and disconnection in an American high school, where everyone is drowning in their own private despair. The film moves with the detachment it documents, keeping you at arm's length from its characters while revealing the cracks in their facades.
