How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A difficult, unflinching examination of a child's loss of innocence in the brothels of 1910s New Orleans. This is a film that demands emotional resilience from its viewer and offers no catharsis.
