How It Feels

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

A meticulously constructed psychological trap where you watch an ordinary man slowly realize everyone around him may be complicit in his destruction. It's a film that keeps you doubting alongside its protagonist, building dread through conversation and implication rather than action.
