How It Feels

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

A lean, hardscrabble tale of a silent fighter and his fast-talking promoter trying to survive Depression-era Louisiana through bare-knuckle boxing. The film moves with the same economical efficiency as its taciturn protagonist, no wasted words, no wasted gestures.
