How It Feels

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

A lushly realized dark fantasy told through stunning puppetry and practical effects, where a small hero's desperate race against cosmic evil unfolds in a world both wondrous and deeply unsettling. It feels like a fever dream rendered tangible, beautiful and grotesque in equal measure.
