How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly beautiful film about two people adrift in a foreign city who find unexpected comfort in each other's silence and vulnerability. It moves like a whisper, letting loneliness and connection unfold in the spaces between conversations.

Reviews
I really hated this when it first came out, and now I just don't like it.
I do think it is well-acted. Other than that, it just seems to really want me to feel sorry for a Hollywood actor and an Ivy League graduate because they are lonely while they have extended stays in a very fancy Tokyo hotel.
