How It Feels

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

A charming comedy about an out-of-work actor who becomes an accidental superhero and discovers that real heroism is messier and more humbling than the fantasy version. It's a lighthearted romp with genuine stakes lurking underneath.
