How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply uncomfortable comedy-drama that watches a delusional man's stalking fantasy spiral into genuine menace, refusing to let you laugh comfortably at his expense. Scorsese and De Niro create something that feels like a cautionary tale about the price of obsession in the entertainment industry.
