How It Feels

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

A raw, unflinching portrait of a woman fighting to rebuild her life and reclaim motherhood after prison, watching her battle her own demons and her family's skepticism with genuine uncertainty about whether she'll win. It's intimate and painful, the kind of film that doesn't offer easy answers.
