How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting 1920s melodrama of exploitation and fragile hope, rendered in muted, painterly frames that feel like moving photographs. You're watching a woman navigate predatory systems with dignity, buoyed by an ambiguous romance that may itself be another trap.
