How It Feels

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

A methodical excavation of collective trauma set in a dying industrial town, where one man's 20-year obsession with solving a murder becomes a reckoning with loss, complicity, and the ghosts of a vanished life. It moves with the patience of lived experience rather than plot mechanics.
