How It Feels

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

A prestige crime drama that treats the inner world of a Mexican drug cartel family with Shakespearean weight and moral complexity. It's a calculated portrait of power, loyalty, and the corrosive effects of the drug trade on those closest to it.
