How It Feels

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

A deadpan satire of American pageantry and civic pride that finds increasing darkness beneath the synthetic glamour of a small-town beauty contest. The film's humor grows more unsettling as its characters' desperation and moral compromises become harder to laugh off.
