How It Feels

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

A clever con artist seduces a psychiatrist into his world of elaborate schemes, and she finds herself dangerously invested in games she doesn't fully understand. What looks like intrigue becomes a masterclass in how easily we can be fooled by what we want to believe.
