How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully ridiculous premise anchored by Lily Tomlin's deadpan charm, this film mines absurdist comedy from the mundane, turning domestic life and consumer culture upside down as its protagonist literally shrinks. It's the kind of genre-bending farce that wears its parody on its sleeve and never takes itself seriously for a second.
