About This Movie

Touchy Feely is a curious little gem that explores the intersection of personal boundaries and familial dynamics.

Meanwhile, her brother Paul is stuck in a rut, running a failing dental practice. The film has this understated yet poignant vibe, capturing the awkwardness and fragility of human connections. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection. The performances are quite engaging, especially the way they depict the subtle shifts in their relationships. It’s a quiet exploration of how we relate—and sometimes fail to relate—to one another, wrapped in a soft, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
