How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A ferociously funny satire that weaponizes its own excess to skewer both war-film clichés and the vanity of actors and studio executives. It's anarchic and audacious, willing to provoke for genuine laughs.

Reviews
Some parts make me laugh. Some parts make me cringe. Either way, I love when someone's dedicated to the bit.
