How It Feels

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

A documentary examination of a reality show that promised transformation but raised uncomfortable questions about beauty, self-worth, and what we're willing to do to belong. It's a thoughtful reckoning with a cultural artifact that now feels troubling in hindsight.
