How It Feels

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

A brutal and shadowy descent into a conspiracy that spirals from a chance encounter into something far more sinister and all-consuming. The film has a claustrophobic intensity that never lets up, trapping both detective and viewer in its web of violence and moral decay.
