How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

An earnest underdog sports film that captures the rush of BMX racing and the genuine tension of a teenager choosing between following his passion and meeting parental expectations. It's a thoroughly 80s experience wrapped around a universal coming-of-age dilemma.
