How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gritty 1960s police procedural that doubles as a portrait of institutional bigotry and a detective confronting the limits of his own worldview. The investigation into a gay man's murder becomes a mirror held up to the case's many moral complications.
