How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, introspective film about the performance of celebrity and the vulnerability beneath it. As a famous actor and a journalist share a train journey, the conversation becomes an excavation of ego, ambition, and the distance between public image and private truth.
