How It Feels

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

A thoughtful sci-fi adventure that balances pulp thrills with genuine moral questions about pacifism and self-defense. It's episodic and meandering in places, but carries real emotional weight as ordinary people discover their capacity for courage.
