How It Feels

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

A giddy romantic comedy that uses a Greek chorus to gently mock its own plot while exploring how love (and obsession) drive us to reshape the lives of others. It's lighthearted mischief wrapped around surprisingly tender questions about family and belonging.
