How It Feels

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

A scrappy Australian comedy about a working-class bloke taking on bureaucratic pomposity and proving his worth after being publicly shamed. It's light-hearted but carries an edge of genuine frustration with how people are judged by their circumstances.
