How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A frontier family drama that grows a boy's heart alongside a scrappy dog, before teaching him the hardest lesson of maturity. It's deeply moving precisely because it refuses to shy away from what loving something means.
