How It Feels

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

A clever, duplicitous student manipulates his way into a classmate's life and feeds the narrative to his increasingly enthralled teacher, blurring the line between creative writing and dangerous reality in ways that grow progressively unsettling. Funny and creepy in equal measure, it's a film about the seduction of storytelling itself.
