How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic collision between a kidnapping plot that goes hilariously wrong and a marriage so fractured that the ransom itself becomes a weapon. It's a comedy built on spectacular mutual dysfunction.
