How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply uncomfortable portrait of a woman trapped between her own desires and pathologies, unfolding with surgical precision. It's a character study that mines psychological anguish for unflinching examination rather than catharsis.
