How It Feels

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

A drolly funny, character-driven dark comedy about a corporate whistleblower whose narcissism and delusions of grandeur make him the most unreliable narrator of his own redemption story. Steven Soderbergh's detached direction and Scott Bakula's twitchy performance turn what could be a straightforward corruption story into something unsettlingly absurd.

nicolascagegoons

this was not the worst thing ever but its extremely mediocre in its character work and especially how it looks.
this film looks atrocious with its bright lighting, it ruins almsot every single scene in this film.
other then that, i don't really enjoy nor hate any character, its all just middle of the road.
im kinda dissapointed by sodenbergh because so far he's only shown to be a C TIER director.
