How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raw, emotionally intense portrait of a young man's desperate struggle for paternal approval and belonging, watching as family wounds deepen against the backdrop of wartime California. Elia Kazan's operatic direction makes every rejection feel monumental.
