How It Feels

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

A gritty portrait of a man torn between his consuming passion for football and the grinding realities of working-class life, where neither ambition nor love can fully take hold. The film captures the claustrophobia of instability, economic, domestic, and personal, with an unflinching eye.
