How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comedic con-man caper set against the pre-Civil War West, where the joke of selling your best friend into slavery wears thinner and more dangerous as the stakes become real. It's a film that tries to mine comedy from a premise rooted in historical horror, balancing laughs against the weight of what it's actually depicting.
