How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic portrait of rural desperation where a stubborn sharecropper family fights against economic ruin with equal parts tragicomedy and grim inevitability. The slapstick masking genuine hopelessness gives this Depression-era drama an unsettling, contradictory energy.
