How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A disturbing psychological portrait that watches a young mind descend into violence with clinical detachment. The film treats its horrific subject matter with uncommon seriousness, creating an experience that feels less like genre entertainment and more like witnessing something genuinely dark unfold.
