How It Feels

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

A sharp ensemble portrait of postwar suburban life where surface-level neighborliness masks festering resentments, infidelities, and social anxieties. The film peels back the veneer of the American Dream to reveal the cracks beneath.
