How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deceptively dark retelling of magical girl tropes that gradually reveals a psychological horror lurking beneath the whimsy. The film balances moments of genuine wonder and schoolgirl camaraderie with mounting dread and existential unease.
