How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral, propulsive account of Elizabeth's fight to seize and hold power in a world designed to strip it from her. The film crackles with courtly intrigue, forbidden desire, and the paranoia of ruling while surrounded by enemies.
