How It Feels

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

A haunting Depression-era crime tragedy where a hitman's world collapses when his son becomes collateral damage, forcing him into a desperate flight through moral compromise. The film moves with a measured, elegiac tone, beautiful and heartbreaking rather than thrilling.
