How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutal, unflinching portrait of a man hunted within the confines of a prison cell block, where social hierarchy and mob justice create a pressure cooker of violence and moral complexity. The film traps you in a suffocating world where there is no escape and no mercy.
