How It Feels

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

A tender, rambling romance about two lonely misfits finding each other in Los Angeles, shot with the improvisational warmth and emotional honesty typical of Cassavetes' work. It's a film that trusts the audience to sit with awkwardness and vulnerability as a path to genuine connection.
