How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A severe, methodical reckoning where a mother's curse binds her to the lives of her daughter's killers across decades, watching as guilt and complicity slowly tear them apart. Unflinching in its portrayal of how violence and blame corrode everything they touch.
