How It Feels

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

A mother's desperate attempt to shield her son from the fallout of a murder spirals into a suffocating descent as consequences multiply and lines blur. It's a thriller built on quiet dread rather than action, watching an ordinary person rationalize increasingly irrational choices.
