How It Feels

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

A quietly devastating exploration of how divorce fractures a family, told from the perspective of a man learning to be a father only after his wife leaves. It's a compassionate film that finds grace in small moments, a father learning to braid his son's hair, the painful reckoning with selfishness, even as it doesn't shy away from the genuine hurt everyone endures.
