How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dreamlike journey into childhood longing and the complex interior life of a boy learning to navigate disappointment and belonging. Spike Jonze transforms Sendak's beloved picture book into a lush, emotionally intricate meditation on wildness, control, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.
