How It Feels

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

A poetic, unhurried portrait of daily survival and emotional numbness in a working-class LA community. The film lingers on small moments, spare dialogue, domestic routines, the weight of exhaustion, to sketch a life grinding under economic and social constraint.
