How It Feels

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

A taut, claustrophobic thriller that traps you inside a financial institution's moral crisis as money-hungry executives race to save themselves before the market collapses. It's a descent into systemic corruption where no one emerges with their conscience intact.
