How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lonely apartment superintendent discovers a mythical creature in his pool and rallies his misfit neighbors to help her escape, creating an odd blend of fairy-tale magic and everyday mundanity that never quite settles into comfort. It's tender and strange in equal measure, with a faith-based warmth that clashes with creeping dread.
