How It Feels

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

A pitch-black satire that mines grotesque humor from the collision between suburban prudishness and urban excess, watching repressed protagonists stumble into their own twisted version of the American dream. It's both genuinely funny and genuinely unsettling.
