I was incredibly unprepared for this, and I became aware of that instantly.
The songs were pretty catchy. I was bopping along. It made me feel kind of sad overall though, and I think perhaps I don't want to be sad during musicals.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually striking 80s-set musical that fuses the gothic and the glitzy, where the dark fairy tale of two mermaid sisters performing in a Warsaw nightclub becomes a meditation on love, loyalty, and the cost of belonging to the human world. It's seductive and deeply unsettling in equal measure.
