How It Feels

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

A calculating woman's ruthless manipulation of the men around her in 19th-century Maine spirals toward tragedy, told with the shadowy intensity of film noir transplanted to a period setting. It's a character study of seduction and control that doesn't shy from showing the wreckage left in her wake.
