How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A portrait of a marriage unraveling beneath surface compatibility, tracing how physical passion and emotional need slowly calcify into resentment and disconnection. It's a quietly devastating study in how two people can be right for each other and fundamentally wrong all at once.
