How It Feels

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

A glam-rock fever dream wrapped around a deeply personal story of transformation and survival. Hedwig's theatrical fury and vulnerability crash together in a film that's equally a concert performance, a confessional, and a defiant middle finger to a world that never made her space.
