An anxiety inducing love ride that personal even tho everything happening in it I have never experienced before. It's the anxiety part which makes the film for me, its one of the main things of this film and its amazing.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A portrait of emotional damage and social fracture that finds unexpected tenderness in connection, filtered through Paul Thomas Anderson's carefully constructed visual and sonic strangeness. It's achingly romantic and deeply uncomfortable in equal measure.
