How It Feels

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

A pitch-black comedy about a dying tyrant and her resentful staff that pivots from strained farce to something far more sinister once the servants realize they won't be rewarded for their suffering. It's darkly funny and increasingly unsettling.
