How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sobering dive into the machinery of war through the eyes of a fighter pilot who learns that commanding men to their deaths carries a weight no amount of cynicism can shield you from. The thrilling aerial sequences are undercut by a grinding moral reckoning.
