How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lovingly scrappy noir pastiche where an aging detective stumbles through a tangled murder mystery with more charm than cynicism. It's a film that winks at its own genre even as it plays it straight.
