How It Feels

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

A slow-moving intellectual thriller where an aging spy must navigate institutional indifference and personal loyalty to uncover a dangerous secret. The pleasure is in watching a careful mind work through layers of deception rather than in plot momentum.
