How It Feels

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

A caustic revenge fantasy that traps a bullying Hollywood power player in a basement with the underling he's spent months destroying. It's viciously funny, deeply uncomfortable, and asks how far justified rage can push you before you become the monster.
