How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A smart, character-driven comedy-drama about institutional resistance and unlikely friendship, grounded in the particular texture of 1980s Washington politics and courtroom decorum. It's a film about two people learning to see past ideology to respect each other's minds.
