How It Feels

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

A gently comic observation of childhood territoriality and honor codes, where the real battles are won and lost through conviction and wit rather than force. It's both tender and tense, a film that treats boyish posturing with genuine respect while finding humor in the gap between their grand ambitions and daily reality.
