How It Feels

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

A darkly funny portrait of two misfit girls adrift after high school, watching their tight bond fray as they drift toward different lives. It's cynical, tender, and oddly touching beneath all the deadpan snark.

Reviews

Ghost World would be April Ludgate's favorite movie, and Daria would be Enid's favorite tv show.

Thora Birch, ScarJo, and Steve Buscemi all give great performances, but overall it's a little too mean spirited for this to be a favorite of mine. I want Steve Buscemi to be happy and prosperous always.
