How It Feels

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

A precisely framed love letter to New York City that doubles as a sharp, uncomfortable examination of desire, privilege, and self-deception among the Manhattan intelligentsia. It's witty and visually stunning, but the film's central moral complications linger long after the laughs fade.

Everything is so good except Woody Allen himself and his character.
Like licorice pizza, the story and characters are good on their own but then the unneeded element of pedophilia is thrown in and makes everything worse.
Like this guy and his character imo automatically suck unwashed butt because you are suppose to root for the guy lol.
