How It Feels

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

A brooding Western that dwells on the poisoned bond between two men, tracking how one act of betrayal metastasizes into years of anticipation and reckoning. The film trades in regret and the impossibility of outrunning your past.
