How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming, energetic ride through the rise and complications of a small-town band catapulted into stardom, balancing genuine affection for its characters with wry observation of fame's corrosive effects. It feels like a love letter to 1960s pop music and the friendships it can both forge and fracture.
