How It Feels

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

A film about two women learning to love each other in the shadow of impending loss, balancing sharp comedic moments with genuine heartbreak. It's a weepy that earns its tears through messy, human relationships rather than manipulation.
