How It Feels

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

A striking western that finds romance and conflict in the collision between an iron-fisted cattle queen and a pacifist marshal, punctuated by sharp gunplay and the looming threat of violence between their volatile siblings. The tension crackles from the gap between what these characters want and what their families will allow them to have.
