How It Feels

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

A warmhearted Christmas fable about a minister whose prayers for help are answered by a charming angel who gently untangles his marriage, his faith, and his community's crisis. It's earnest and uplifting, with enough humor and heart to feel genuinely moving rather than saccharine.
