How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A film that walks the line between comedy and genuine heartbreak, finding absurdist humor in teenage awkwardness and the messy reality of connecting with someone whose time might be running out. It's tender without being saccharine, and funny without deflecting from the real weight of what it's examining.

Reviews
For eight years, I have been certain I would love this movie, but I rarely pick movies that I know will make me sad.
I decided today was the day. I do love it, and I sobbed to the point of that hyperventilating thing that happens. I love it so much, and I may never watch it again.
