How It Feels

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

A warm-hearted film about an arrogant man learning humility through directing a theatre group with learning difficulties, finding unexpected grace in collective creativity. It's the kind of story that feels earned rather than sentimental.
