How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A 1960s creature feature that mingles genuine destruction spectacle with the tender relationship between a boy and the unstoppable force of nature he alone understands. It's earnest monster-movie mayhem wrapped around something unexpectedly poignant about connection across difference.
