How It Feels

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

A affectionate snapshot of 1950s Brooklyn street life, where four working-class boys navigate the small dramas of youth with equal parts mischief and genuine heart. It's a film that lets you hang out with its characters more than it's interested in plot.
