How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting portrait of a woman spiraling under the weight of an impossible, one-sided love, told with quiet precision and devastating psychological depth. The film captures not romance but its opposite, the gradual dissolution of a person consumed by delusion.
