How It Feels

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

A fever dream of familial suffocation and grotesque transformation that uses body horror as a metaphor for adolescent pressure and the violence of perfection. Visually striking and deeply uncomfortable in the best way.
