How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A thrilling monster spectacle that channels genuine dread alongside wonder, a beautiful, tragic creature wreaks havoc on civilization, and you're caught between rooting for the beast and the humans it threatens. It's simultaneously a love letter to cinema itself and a dark meditation on exploitation.
