how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 25 comments (23 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 3 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 3 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βSean Penn never tries to show Harvey Milk as a hero, and never needs to. He shows him as an ordinary man, kind, funny, flawed, shrewd, idealistic, yearning for a better world.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 100
βWith Milk, a great San Francisco story becomes a great American story.β
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle Β· 100
βIt's a total triumph, brimming with humor, heart, sexual heat, political provocation and a crying need to stir things up, just like Harvey did. If there's a better movie around this year, with more bristling purpose, I sure as hell haven't seen it.β
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Β· 100
βHarvey Milk embodied the concept that "all politics is personal," and by presenting the famed Mayor of Castro Street's personal and public lives with such clarity and empathy, Van Sant has made something very rare in Hollywood -- a genuinely powerful political film that works equally well as a story of personal triumph.β
Perry Seibert, TV Guide Magazine Β· 100
βHarvey Milk was an intriguing, inspiring figure. Milk is a marvel.β

βMilk shakes its nutrient-rich substance to produce a delectably important biopic. No fat free milk. No semi-skimmed froth encrusting the top layer. Lactose is included. Just whole Harvey Milk dairy, freshly pasteurised by superlative direction and sharp writing. Much like fine wine, Milk tastes exquisitely with age, consistently complementing current democratic strands of chaos. Highlighting the significance of a single vote in a referendum without glorifying the omnipotence of activism. Harvβ

βA brilliantly informed piece of history. I learnt more than I thought I would and enjoyed it even more. Enjoyed probably isnβt the word as itβs a disgrace that any of this had to happen but overall itβs an empowering film of right over wrong. I feel slightly more informed about LGBT history now than I did before the film, ready for LGBT history month (every February). The acting is really good and believable but I have to admit I found it difficult watching straight actors cast as gay menβ
