How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Three hardened criminals escape from Devil's Island only to find themselves softened by the misfortunes of a struggling family during the Christmas season, in a film that mines comedy from the clash between criminality and unexpected kindness. It's a buoyant, good-natured romp about how circumstance and human decency can work miracles on the worst of us.
