How It Feels

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

A sharply written cat-and-mouse game where an ambitious lawyer orchestrates the perfect crime, only to find herself matched against a deceptively ordinary detective who sees what others miss. It's a battle of intellects disguised as a straightforward mystery.
