How It Feels

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

A quiet, unglamorous look at adult life and unresolved family history, where small domestic tensions and unspoken feelings accumulate into something touching and sad. The film moves at the pace of real conversation, lingering on the gaps between what people say and what they mean.
