How It Feels

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

A gently satirical meditation on the generational divide wrapped in an oddly charming comedy where middle-aged parents discover liberation through their children's rebellion. It's both tender and wryly funny about how crisis can crack open rigid lives.
