How It Feels

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

A Brazilian woman caught in the suffocating grip of religious extremism descends into psychological terror as those around her become increasingly sinister. The horror emerges not from jump scares but from the claustrophobic betrayal of being trapped among people determined to erase who you are.
