How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic psychological puzzle set in deep space, where paranoia and philosophical inquiry become inseparable as a pilot must determine which of his crewmates is synthetic. The film prioritizes existential unease over action, asking uncomfortable questions about what makes someone, or something, truly human.
