How It Feels

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

A psychological thriller that blurs the line between interrogator and suspect as a detective and psychologist attempt to understand a dangerously intelligent man with a fundamental disconnect from human emotion. Taut and morally disorienting, it builds dread through intellectual cat-and-mouse rather than action alone.
