How It Feels

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

A raw, caustic portrait of adolescent malaise that uses a typhoon as both literal entrapment and metaphor for teenage isolation and despair. The film watches its disaffected characters with unflinching honesty, finding dark comedy and sudden tenderness in their rejection of adult expectations.
