How It Feels

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

A bruising, operatic descent into 1860s Manhattan's violent underworld, where personal vengeance becomes tangled with the larger clash of immigrant communities and American identity. Scorsese's meticulous world-building and committed performances make this feel less like a revenge thriller and more like a blood feud that encompasses a whole civilization.
