How It Feels

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

A raw, intimate portrait of a young woman seeking liberation through reinvention, only to discover that the promised freedom comes with its own constraints. Shot with handheld immediacy, it captures both the exhilaration and the tragic compromises of adolescent rebellion.
