How It Feels

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

A family-friendly sci-fi comedy that takes a dark turn when their prize smart home becomes overbearing and controlling. It's equal parts earnest domestic comedy and surprisingly creepy cautionary tale about ceding family autonomy to technology.
