How It Feels

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

A campy descent into Las Vegas excess that oscillates wildly between melodrama and unintentional comedy, following an ambitious dancer's ruthless climb built on manipulation and cruelty. Watching it is less about empathy and more about witnessing spectacle spiral into excess.
