How It Feels

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

A gently anarchic family comedy about a uptight professional whose childhood gift for talking to animals suddenly returns and hijacks his carefully ordered life. It's slapstick and warm, with talking animals stealing scenes and a doctor learning to embrace the weirder parts of himself.
