How It Feels

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

A weathered Western that watches ambition and desire clash with domestic responsibility, as a young couple's marriage strains under the allure and danger of the rodeo life. It's a character study wrapped in rodeo grit, less about thrills than about the quiet cost of chasing them.
