How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sci-fi romance about two consciousnesses learning to coexist in one body, blending intimate character drama with the stakes of alien invasion. It's earnest and genre-indulgent, asking what it means to choose compassion in a war for survival.
