How It Feels

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

A gritty portrait of a young man fighting against the weight of his working-class circumstances and his own self-destructive impulses to chase an unlikely dream. It's earnest social realism that stakes everything on whether willpower and talent can overcome a rigged system.
