How It Feels

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

A quietly disturbing character study where an instructor's initial rejection of a troubled teen spirals into something darker and more psychologically complex. The film slowly reveals what drives his obsessive behavior with minimal exposition and mounting dread.
