How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming romantic comedy about a woman escaping her glamorous New York life to untangle her messy Southern past, discovering that reinvention can only go so far before you have to reckon with who you really are. It's warm-hearted and funny, with genuine emotional stakes beneath the rom-com surface.
