yeah i got nothing out of this, it feels extremely hollow and honestly this like the only film i would consider to bennefit from having more music.
i don't really find any character interesting or enjoyeable to watch.
interesting start to steven sodenbergh but thats about it.
sex, lies, and videotape
the husband. the wife. her sister. his friend.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately paced chamber piece that transforms intimate confession into a weapon and a mirror, slowly unraveling the sexual and emotional hypocrisies within a troubled marriage. It's uncomfortable, quiet, and oddly erotic in its focus on disclosure and vulnerability.
