How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy comedy-drama about ordinary complicity during the McCarthy era, where a working-class man stumbles into moral heroism despite himself. The film balances dark humor against genuine rage at institutional injustice.
