How It Feels

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

A caustic, increasingly nightmarish critique of institutional power wrapped in the form of a boarding school rebellion that escalates into something far darker and more violent. It's a film that makes you complicit in its escalating rage.
