How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic and deeply uncomfortable portrait of a family imploding under the weight of buried dysfunction. Watching it feels like being trapped in a pressure cooker where every character's neuroses are on violent display.
