How It Feels

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

A stark portrait of how early emotional deprivation and loss spiral into addiction, told through the true story of Lillian Roth's descent from Broadway stardom into alcoholism. The film unflinches from the damage caused by a domineering mother and the personal traumas that drive one to the bottle.
