As the electrons release astatic charge which causes the cling film to be attracted towards other objects(i.e. your hands), furthermore the cling film 'clings' onto the object.

Cling film is not a good insulator because it is thin and flexible, which makes it easy for heat to transfer through it. Its low thermal resistance cannot effectively trap air and prevent heat loss or gain. Additionally, its material properties do not provide significant insulation against temperature changes.
