How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grinding, morally ambiguous descent into the machinery of institutional corruption, where doing the right thing becomes impossible and every relationship becomes a potential liability. Lumet's unflinching 167-minute investigation traps you inside the suffocating logic of compromise and self-deception.
