How It Feels

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

A raw, often cringe-inducing look at three famous musicians forced to confront decades of unresolved tension through therapy and the creative process. It's simultaneously uncomfortable to watch and strangely moving, a portrait of brittle egos learning to be vulnerable.
