How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting, formally audacious film that uses modified Barbie dolls to tell the tragic true story of Karen Carpenter's final years, creating a deeply uncomfortable and moving portrait of a gifted artist consumed by eating disorders.
