How It Feels

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

A disturbing descent into the fractured psyche of a teenage obsessive fan, where worship of a pop icon warps into something increasingly dangerous and grotesque. The film charts a slow-burn spiral from adoration into darkness, saturated with the claustrophobic dread of a fantasy colliding with reality.
