How It Feels

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

A devastatingly human revenge story where a broken man's resurrection through love makes his inevitable descent into violence feel inevitable and tragic. The film balances tenderness with brutality, turning what could be exploitation into something genuinely mournful.
