How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A provocative coming-of-age drama that watches the swift moral erosion of a bright teenage girl as she monetizes desire and builds a transactional system with devastating consequences. It's an uncomfortable portrait of ambition, manipulation, and the cost of treating intimacy as commerce.
