How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dark comedy about a working-class father sabotaging his son's marriage, finding cringe and pathos in the cramped domestic warfare of a junkyard household. It's funny and cruel in equal measure, with the laugh always tinged by something sadder underneath.
