How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scathing dissection of Manhattan greed and institutional rot, where a single accident becomes fuel for every charlatan and opportunist in the city. It's a caustic, messy crucifixion of the powerful, told with caustic humour and genuine rage.
