How It Feels

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

A sharp comedy that mines both laughs and genuine anger from workplace sexism, following a woman who invents a fake male partner to survive in Wall Street's boy's club, until her fictional creation becomes her own bind.
