How It Feels

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

A bleak, deliberately awkward comedy-drama that finds grim humor in the aftermath of trauma and moral failure. This is Todd Solondz at his most uncomfortable, characters searching for meaning and forgiveness in a world that feels fundamentally broken.
