How It Feels

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

A grimly authentic portrait of an emotionally dead predator, told with deliberate restraint that makes the violence feel disturbingly mundane. This is a film about evil as banality, not spectacle, deeply discomforting precisely because it refuses to sensationalize.
