How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Two towering monsters, one evil, one protective, clash across Tokyo in a spectacle of destruction that frames their catastrophic conflict as a family tragedy. It's earnest disaster cinema where the monsters are the most human thing on screen.
