How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp-edged fish-out-of-water comedy that finds genuine charm in the collision between a scruffy British outsider and New York's glittering celebrity machine. It's funny, tender, and surprisingly honest about the cost of trying to fit in.
