How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dizzying descent into paranoia and fractured reality that blurs the line between Mima's public persona and private self. Reality warps and dissolves as obsession closes in from all sides, leaving you stranded in psychological horror.

Reviews
A film i had on my watchlist since like, the first months i created my letterboxd account but never got around to until today.
Yeah it was great, the twist was great and the animation is beautifull.
Not much to say that other people already haven't said before.
