How It Feels

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

A methodical observation of ordinary middle-class life that gradually reveals itself as a portrait of invisible despair, where mundane routines mask an unbearable emptiness leading toward darkness. The film watches with clinical detachment as a family systematically dismantles itself.
