How It Feels

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

A visceral chronicle of teenage rebellion and musical hunger, capturing the exhilaration and exploitation of two girls who wanted to be rock stars and nearly paid the price for it. It's energetic and messy, thrumming with '70s attitude but shadowed by the darker costs of fame.
