How It Feels

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

A multigenerational portrait of Italian-American women bound by Catholic faith, superstition, and complicated love, where devotion curdles into obsession and miracles are never quite what we expect. Intimate and claustrophobic, anchored by the tragic arc of a girl caught between her grandmother's fervent belief and her own inchoate spiritual calling.
