How It Feels

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

Two people in a hotel room locked in a psychological dance where power shifts like a knife's edge, blending dark comedy with genuine menace. It's intimate, claustrophobic, and perpetually uncertain who has the upper hand.

I really like Margaret Qualley and tried to tolerate this film, but walked away disappointed. It had a great setting and cinematography, but I felt both the acting and dialog were over the top, resulting in my one-star review.
