How It Feels

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

A politically complex thriller that uses giant robots and procedural police work as a lens to examine institutional mistrust and the machinery of state control. Contemplative and layered, it asks uncomfortable questions about who's really pulling the strings.
