How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languid, humid portrait of a family fractured by infidelity and secrets, told through the unreliable perspective of a young girl discovering how little she truly knows the people closest to her. Kasi Lemmons' debut is as much about the stories we tell ourselves as the truths that destroy us.
