How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A kaleidoscopic spiral into drug-fueled chaos where reality warps and frays at the edges; watching it feels like being pulled into someone else's hallucinatory fever dream with no seatbelt and no way out.

I thought it was funny sometimes, and the rest of the time I didn't like it.
