How It Feels

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

A bewildering family adventure that lurches between earnest emotional beats and deeply surreal comedy, populated by talking animals and a flirtatious AI. It's the kind of film that feels genuinely confused about what it's trying to be, and strangely, that's much of the charm.
