I thought it was about Bill Skarsgård falling in love with and then killing Daniel Radcliffe. That's not it at all. Bill Skarsgård isn't even in it. I think I accidentally made that up and then believed, but either way, I had a hard time getting past my false memory of what it was about versus reality, and then I just couldn't get into it, and that's on me.
I love Daniel Radcliffe and Ben Foster though.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A moody, intellectually charged murder mystery that weaves together the formative moment of the Beat Generation with a passionate, destructive love triangle. It's as much about the collision of young ambition and dark desire as it is about a crime.
