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 5 comments (4 from TMDB reviews, 1 from Metacritic) β 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 2 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.

βIf I had to nitpick, which it would very much be, I would've shortened the run time ever so slightly; could've been wrapped up quicker, but no biggie.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βJΓ‘nos SzΓ‘sz's film is a thoroughly provocative WWII screed that almost deliberately goes out of its way to avoid sentimentality or bathos of any sort.β

βThough it features no battle scenes, The Notebook shines a powerful, unflinching light on the horrors of World War II.β

βIt's a nightmare fairy tale that can be very difficult to watch.β

βThe challenge for a filmmaker attempting to adapt the Agota Kristof novella The Notebook is how much of its startlingly amoral world can actually be shown.β
Kate Taylor, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Β· 75
βA bleak, despairing testament to the cruelty of war, and how it mangles and defaces everyone it touches.β

Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 24 Aug 2026. Quotes belong to their publications and link to the full reviews.
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.
βThis is definitely not the film I was expecting based on its Oscar nominated pedigree. To say that I was disappointed is to put it mildly. The story concerns twin brothers who are sent to live with their un-loving grandmother at the time of World War 2 and are requested by their father to keep a notebook of their experiences. The scenes involving the grandmother are indeed the best in the film. However, the boys evolution from weak to strong, in both body and spirit, is at times too simplisticalβ

βMy wife and I, being of a certain age, find this film to be one of the most poignant and heartwarming love stories ever read, heard, or seen (* Doctor Zhivago notwithstanding). Yes, it's quite predictable, but that doesn't influence the score. If you are younger, all I can say is, may you be blessed with such a love.β
