How It Feels

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

A quietly compassionate portrait of a young man trying to rebuild his life after release from juvenile detention, anchored by the patient, unglamorous work of those around him learning to trust again. It's a film that takes second chances seriously without sentimentality.
