How It Feels

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

A group of old friends reunite for a wedding, but simmering tensions and unresolved romantic feelings simmer beneath the surface celebration. It's a chamber piece about how the past refuses to stay buried when everyone's forced into close quarters.

I only watched this for Dianna Agron.

The Romantics is one of those "college friend group dates each other and now two are getting married and there's drama" movies, except they call themselves the Romantics because they are interested in the Romantic era. They could have just called the movie that and not made it something weird that they call themselves.

Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, and Josh Duhamel are the main trio, and all three are unlikeable in various ways, so ultimately I didn't root for any of them. They shouldn't even be friends anymore.

The movie has an ambiguous ending, and this is not the type of movie that should be open-ended.
