Amy is hanging on by a thread. Struggling to cope with past sexual trauma and the daily aggressions of a what she perceives as a male-dominated society, she creates grotesquely costumed alter egos that re-appropriate the male form. While giving her the sense of power she craves, acting as these characters pushes her further into a world of her own making. When she begins a new relationship with a seemingly good guy, she opens herself up to him - but that vulnerability comes at a dangerous cost, and her alter egos threaten to lash out in explosive violence. Based on the real experiences and art of co-writer/star Amy Everson, Felt doesn't just point a finger at rape culture; it takes a full on swing at it, creating a feminist psychological thriller that audiences will be hard-pressed to shake off.
Leave your thoughts about Felt.
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA stunningly tedious work. If a friend tries to convince you to see this movie, run away as fast as you can and never speak to that person again. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeYou really do not want to make the mistake of seeing a minute more of this movie, which is so compelling up to this point. The rest of it, which runs for a very long and tedious 20 minutes, is a right and confused mess. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoFelt bravely explores a messy "after" that so many other films neglect to acknowledge, which fearlessly addresses rape-culture stereotypes head-on and without restraint. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA cattle prod of a picture which incessantly provokes and pushes the cinematic envelope while taking no prisoners in a very freaky battle-of-the-sexes. |
| Under the RadarKyle TurnerAn adequately haunting film that tests its audience's patience with understanding--or at the very least empathizing with the danger of--misogyny. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasTo her credit, [director Amy Everson] is fearless, fully committed to a character with her same name and occupation. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpWhether we like or dislike movies like it is ultimately irrelevant compared to the responses they induce in their audiences. So consider this a guarantee: You won't walk away from Felt unmoved. |
| San Francisco ExaminerAnita KatzDifferent and daring but not quite satisfying. |
| indieWireRyan LattanzioThe first hour offers a textured, specific and creepy study of female victimhood and unspeakable trauma. And then the director loses his mind. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelA dreamy, lyrical film that is also a nightmare, Felt proves that hell hath no fury like a man-woman scorned, while also advertising the fleshy realities beneath its hand-crafted fabric. |
