But as the Yorkins' lives become fuller, Sy's only seems lonelier, until he eventually believes he's part of their family.

How It Feels

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

A meticulous descent into the fractured mind of a lonely man whose innocent devotion curdled into dangerous fixation. Williams delivers a quietly terrifying performance that makes every interaction feel contaminated by unspoken pathology.
