How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting blend of childhood wonder and creeping dread, where a girl's pencil sketches become a gateway to a dreamscape that grows increasingly sinister. The film moves between the mundane ache of loneliness and something far more dangerous lurking on the edges of her drawings.
