How It Feels

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

A carefully composed domestic thriller that uses a provocative premise, a woman who could have been switched at birth, to unravel the fragile bonds of an apparently perfect family. The film builds dread through proximity and propriety rather than spectacle.
