How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A bewildering romp that leans hard into its weirdness, pitting a wisecracking anthropomorphic duck against cosmic threats with cheerful disregard for logic. It's earnestly earnest about being completely ridiculous.
