How It Feels

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

A provocative comedy-drama that uses sharp humor and sexual frankness to expose the power dynamics and economic desperation underlying a transgressive affair in Thatcher-era Britain. It's bracingly amoral in a way that feels deliberately designed to make audiences uncomfortable.
