How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully unapologetic portrait of a working-class woman weaponizing sex and cunning to claw her way up the social ladder, told with pre-Code cheekiness and moral flexibility. It's a dark comedy of manners where the scheming protagonist is far more entertaining than the respectable people she outwits.
