Synopsis
The Feels is an improvised comedy about a group of friends who set out on a lesbian bachelorette weekend, celebrating the upcoming nuptials of Andi (Constance Wu) and Lu (Angela Trimbur). Under the influence of alcohol, Lu admits to everyone that she’s never had an orgasm, to Andi's complete surprise and dismay. The fun weekend is derailed in unexpected ways, causing everyone to reflect on subjects such as trust, love, and their first orgasms.

Reception
Variety critic Dennis Harvey called the film "uneven but pleasing", predicting a target audience following in LGBT circles, and modest mainstream success. He concluded that the film fell somewhat short as a drama, because it didn't reach the necessary depth of the characters, but that "as a comedy, “The Feels” has considerable sprightly appeal, although it could have used slightly more assertive visual packaging. The dialogue and scene rhythms have a nice, loose, improvisational feel, and Steph Zenee Perez’s editing maintains a bright pace."[1]
