How It Feels

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

A frantically paced thriller that unfolds entirely through computer screens and social media, trapping you in a father's desperate race against time to find his missing daughter. It's digitally claustrophobic in the best way, each click and search feels urgent, and the further you dig, the more unsettling it becomes.
