How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy comedy that spoofs biblical epics by imagining the unsung hero behind Moses, a well-meaning functionary robbed of recognition by history. It's a lighthearted riff on divine destiny and the cruel randomness of who gets remembered.
