How It Feels

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

A suffocating portrait of a marriage crumbling beneath the weight of thwarted dreams and performative domestic contentment in 1950s suburbia. Watching it is like witnessing a slow-motion collision between who people are and who they're expected to be.
