How It Feels

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

A visceral, absurdly frustrating film where bureaucratic incompetence proves as devastating as the monster itself. Shin Godzilla is as much a scathing political satire as it is a kaiju rampage, all captured in a style that feels unnervingly documentary-like despite the cosmic horror unfolding on screen.
