How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A disorienting noir-comedy about old sins and desperate men, where a past scam resurfaces to unravel seemingly respectable lives. It's tonally unstable in a way that feels intentional, simultaneously darkly funny and genuinely uncomfortable.
