How It Feels

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

A garish, over-the-top noir fever dream where stylistic excess steamrolls over coherence, oscillating wildly between self-aware camp and earnest superhero spectacle. It's visually audacious but narratively bewildering, fun in its sheer strangeness, difficult in its tonal whiplash.
