How It Feels

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

A scrappy family comedy where two teenagers take matters into their own hands when their parents' marriage falls apart, turning a premise that sounds dark into a heartfelt, goofy romp about learning what it actually takes to keep a family together.
