How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously composed meditation on constraint and desire set in postwar suburbia, where a wife must reckon with her husband's hidden life and her own stirring heart against the suffocating backdrop of 1950s social expectation. It's a film that observes heartbreak with formal precision and genuine empathy.
