How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nostalgic fever dream of adolescent desire and small-town cruelty, where a boy's obsession with an irresistibly beautiful woman masks the darker tragedy of her lived reality. Lush and sensual on the surface, but haunted by the question of what fantasies cost those who are fantasized about.
