How It Feels

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

A sharp comedy that peels back the layers of a man's constructed life as he faces the contradictions he's buried. It's warm but unflinching about the cost of living a lie, even one built with good intentions.
