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 53 comments (49 from Metacritic, 4 from Reddit) β 8 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 8 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.

βThis gives the film a constant and steadily increasing sense of tension and as the plot progresses it feels like this house of cards may be about to topple which makes for a good story line.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThis taut cautionary tale explores the dark side of American politics. And leaves the viewer to wonder - if anyone's still wondering - is there a bright side?β
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer Β· 100
βClooney certainly brings out the best in his actors, but his driving trait as a filmmaker is that he knows what plays - he has an uncanny sense of how to uncork a scene and let it bubble and flow.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 91
βThis is a deeply cynical movie and, in that cynicism, it finds truth.β
James Berardinelli, ReelViews Β· 88
βA cynical, polished and deeply disturbing look at the kind of camera-ready liberal dreamboy who gets elected in 60-second sound bites, it is one of the most important films of the year.β
Rex Reed, Observer Β· 88
βIt isn't a great film. But it is a smart and high-minded one, wonderfully cast, with understated direction. Clooney is good enough in the lead to stir talk of a political future.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
βIt was okay. Ides of March is best known as the day Caesar was assasinated. Corresponds to our March 15. Never could figure out why they chose that title. The story itself bares little to no resemblance to the story of Caesar. Maybe the selfish inclinations of the men behind the men? Is Gosling's character supposed to be a modern-day Brutus?β
