How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic Southern Gothic portrait of spiritual desperation and false prophets, where ambition and faith collide in grotesque and unforgettable ways. The film moves with a deliberate, alienating rhythm that makes its deadpan horror impossible to look away from.
