How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm, affectionate portrait of a young woman finding her voice and agency through songwriting in 1950s New York. It's a character study wrapped in the glamour of early rock 'n' roll, tender without being saccharine.
