How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling Western morality play where a principled outsider must navigate violent clan rivalries and prove his worth in a harsh frontier society. It's a meditation on honor and restraint dressed in the wide-open spaces of the American West.
