How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly introspective portrait of a comedian confronting the hollow core beneath his success, told through fragmented memories as he hovers between life and death. It's unflinching about pain and addiction while wrestling with whether survival itself is worth the struggle.
