How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A long, uneven meditation on mortality and male friendship that swings between sharp comedy and raw emotional vulnerability. Judd Apatow's plea for his protagonist, and maybe himself, to be better; occasionally it lands deeply, sometimes it just sprawls.
