How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delightful sci-fi adventure that captures the magic of childhood imagination made real, where three middle schoolers actually build a spaceship and encounter the unknown. It's earnest, funny, and tinged with the melancholy realization that growing up means leaving wonder behind.
