How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A crackle of wit and venom as a royal family tears itself apart over succession and legacy, all set in a castle at Christmas. It's Shakespeare-level drama with mordant humor and some of the finest ensemble acting in period cinema.
