how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Not a rating. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve — shown next to the community score above, never mixed into it.
Read from 46 comments (45 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 8 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — 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.

“Amikor a tollpihe száll a végén... az maga a filmművészeti varázslat. Ezt a filmet nem elég látni, ezt érezni kell. For me, this movie is the very essence of cinema. ️ You don't just watch it; you breathe with history. Zemeckis's direction and Tom Hanks's performance create a blend that breaks your heart and fills you with infinite optimism all at once. ️ When that feather floats at the end... that is pure cinematic magic. You don't just see this movie, you have to feel it.”

“only to have some kind of prodigious kid at the end of the movie, which pretty much undermines all the things that made him extraordinary in the first place”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Passionate and magical, Forrest Gump is a tonic for the weary of spirit.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 100
“What a magical movie.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 100
“Clean up the language, and this little roach of a movie could play the bottom half of a double bill with Rowan and Martin's “The Maltese Bippy.” [26 March 1999, Life, p.9E]”
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune · 100
“Manages the difficult feat of being an intimate, even delicate tale played with an appealingly light touch against an epic backdrop.”
Todd McCarthy, Variety · 90
“The results are skillful, highly affecting, and ultimately more than a little pernicious.”
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader · 90
Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 23 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.
