How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raw, propulsive noir about a young man stalking his father's attacker through the underbelly of 1950s LA. It's a compact revenge story that trades introspection for forward momentum, driven by wounded rage.
