How It Feels

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

A surreal, symbolism-drenched fever dream that wraps profound questions about gender, agency, and growing up in magical-girl aesthetics and abstract nightmare logic. Watching it feels like being trapped in someone else's gorgeous, increasingly distorted memories.
