How It Feels

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

A deeply disturbing descent into a child's nightmare existence within a sideshow underworld, where moments of fragile hope are poisoned by the film's unflinching depiction of systematic abuse and transgression. This is transgressive art that refuses the viewer comfort, employing grotesque animation and body horror to make exploitation viscerally inescapable.
