How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic psychological thriller about performance and possession, where the line between actress and legend grows dangerously blurred under a controlling director's increasingly unstable obsession. It's a fever dream of Hollywood ambition and manipulation that builds toward something genuinely unsettling.
