How It Feels

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

A woman flees an abusive marriage to build a life of deliberate solitude in the Yorkshire countryside, only to find unexpected connection and the gradual unearthing of her painful past. Tender yet unflinching in its portrayal of domestic tyranny and the radical act of a woman claiming agency.
