How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully anarchic kids-against-authority romp that treats its young protagonists with genuine affection while celebrating their rebellion against a tyrant. It's silly, warm-hearted, and unapologetically on the side of the underdogs.
