How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic examination of a marriage unraveling under financial pressure, where a scheme to commit fraud becomes a metaphor for how easily trust and intimacy corrode. The film watches with a slightly cruel detachment as two people who think they're fooling everyone end up fooling themselves.
