How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical cat-and-mouse thriller that interrogates whether justice can be served decades after atrocity, watched as multiple forces close in on a war criminal seeking refuge in faith. It's a grey, morally complicated affair that privileges investigation and institutional power over cathartic resolution.
