How It Feels

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

A taut psychological thriller that burrows into the gap between a heroic public image and the haunted private truth, unraveling through alternating timelines that gradually expose how much was built on lies. The mounting dread comes not from action but from the inexorable pull of the past catching up.
