genuinely hated this as its not interesting, neither its story or characters are good.
steven sodenbergh needs to get a grasp on himself and learn that while experimenting is a good thing, those experiments should pay off after like the 10th time and not become worse every time

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut psychological thriller that reveals itself to be something far more intricate than it appears, pulling the rug out beneath your understanding of who's being manipulated and why. It's a coldly intelligent cat-and-mouse game wrapped in the language of mental illness and medical ethics.
