How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply uncomfortable meditation on how technology deadens emotional connection within families, told with clinical coldness that matches its alienated characters. This is cinema of disturbance rather than catharsis, a film that implicates the viewer in the same mediation of experience it critiques.
