How It Feels

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

A stylish black-and-white portrait of a woman discovering her sexuality and agency through performance, only to become entangled in moral panic. It's equal parts celebration and tragedy, told with affection and ironic humor.
