How It Feels

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

An intimate, rawly emotional portrait of a mother and volatile son trapped in a symbiotic relationship, where proximity and desperation create both tenderness and danger. The film finds dark beauty in dysfunction and suggests that love, however fierce, cannot always heal what's broken.
