How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic psychological thriller that twists and destabilizes as a captive woman's fractured memories begin to reshape what she thinks is real. The film constantly reframes what you trust, leaving you as uncertain as its protagonist.
