How It Feels

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

A high-octane fantasy about achieving your wildest dream that doesn't shy away from the loneliness and dysfunction lurking beneath the glamour of rock stardom. It's a celebration of devotion to music that asks what it costs when devotion becomes obsession.
