How It Feels

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

A morally urgent courtroom thriller that builds toward darker revelations than its redemptive premise initially promises. It's a film invested in systemic injustice and the cost of uncovering the truth, even when that truth is horrifying.
