How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gritty 1940s noir where two brothers, one a cop, one a priest, find themselves on opposite sides of a brutal murder investigation, their fundamental conflict of conscience unraveling both their cases and their relationship. The film is a slow descent into moral ambiguity where saving others demands the sacrifice of what matters most.
