How It Feels

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

A Cold War spy thriller that transforms domestic British quiet into a pressure cooker of existential threat, pitting an MI5 agent against a Soviet operative assembling a nuclear bomb in suburban England. It's a race-against-time nail-biter grounded in espionage tradecraft and the paranoia of mutually assured destruction.
