How It Feels

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

A pitch-black comedy about a domineering matriarch's iron grip over her adult sons, where tradition becomes tyranny and a family gathering spirals into savage cruelty. It's a claustrophobic, darkly funny portrait of generational control and the explosive moment when resentment finally boils over.
