How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply human portrait of a girl discovering her genius and agency through chess, grounded in the struggle and grit of her daily reality. It's an uplifting film that never sentimentalizes poverty or glosses over the structural barriers its protagonist faces.
