How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A rise-to-fame story that doesn't shy away from the cost of celebrity on childhood and family bonds. It's as much about the weight of paternal ambition and survival as it is about the thrill of musical success.
