How It Feels

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

A corrosive road movie that traps you in close quarters with escalating menace and moral ambiguity, where the journey itself becomes a descent into darkness. The real horror isn't the serial killings, it's the everyday cruelty and desperation of people trapped in poverty and fractured lives.

I can see a world where I saw this in the 90s and have a nostalgic soft spot for it, but that's not this world. I did like David Duchovny giving me Hank Moody vibes as a writer doing voiceover.
