How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A detective unravels alone, fighting institutional indifference while chasing a truth his colleagues have already abandoned. It's a slow-burn thriller that trades spectacle for claustrophobic moral weight.
