How It Feels

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

A darkly absurd Danish animated thriller that mixes genuine menace with deadpan humor as a 6th-grader navigates death threats, bullying, and increasingly bizarre misfortune. It's funny and disturbing in equal measure, refusing to look away from the casual cruelty of childhood or the collateral damage of adult dysfunction.
