How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming romantic comedy wrapped around the genuine weight of balancing personal happiness with public responsibility. It's earnest about both the butterflies of new love and the real cost of vulnerability in the spotlight.
