How It Feels

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

A nightmarish descent into the blurred boundary between fiction and lived horror, where the act of uncovering truth becomes increasingly indistinguishable from the lies that protect us. Visceral and psychologically destabilizing.
