How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deadpan descent into a martial arts world that starts as self-help and curdles into something far darker and more absurd. The film's satire of toxic masculinity cuts sharp while maintaining an eerie, slow-burn dread.
