How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warmly funny and achingly honest portrait of a relationship tested by illness, cultural expectation, and the vulnerability of letting someone truly know you. The comedy and heartbreak move at the same tempo, neither overwhelming the other.
