How It Feels

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

Two punk rockers set out across America to avenge their friend's death, stumbling through a collision of urban and western sensibilities that's equal parts road-trip comedy and existential reckoning. It's a film that doesn't quite fit neatly into any category, finding dark humor in the gap between who these characters are and the mythic roles they try to inhabit.
