How It Feels

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

A lurid melodrama where passion, class conflict, and racial prejudice collide across the American West. Pearl's torn loyalty between two brothers and her struggle against the world's judgment creates a ferociously emotional, often uncomfortable viewing experience.
