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.
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 (48 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 6 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.

“Once the credits roll it will be like waking from a dream.”

“The pace is purposefully slow”

“To be cutting between 3 story lines taking place at different times and telling each individual story slightly out of order can be a little confusing and ruins the narrative flow at times.”

“At times, I could not contain my awe and found myself almost moved to tears by these visuals.”
Spangle · Metacritic ↗
“I had no idea what was happening for the majority of this corny film, and it wasn't a pleasant lack of understanding (Mulholland Drive), but a lack of understanding that led me to question whether watching it was a good use of my time or not.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“As it happens, each one of these tales is also a love story, and The Fountain is Aronofsky’s profession of faith concerning love’s place in the idea of eternity. It’s a movie that’s as deeply felt as it is imagined.”
Glenn Kenny, Premiere · 100
“It's an ambitious, passionate, grief-stricken work of film art.”
M. E. Russell, Portland Oregonian · 100
“Viewers not attuned to his (Aronofsky's) heartfelt, bombastic Richard Wagner-by-way-of-"2001: A Space Odyssey" lyricism might be better off looking elsewhere. But they'll never see anything else quite like it.”
Keith Phipps, The A.V. Club · 83
“I'm as touched and charmed by its failures as I am transfixed, at times, by its successful inventiveness and audacity.”
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly · 83
“At heart, this is a simple Zen fable about love and death. In execution, it’s a complex and gorgeous mini-epic with sterling performances from its two stars.”
Helen O'Hara, Empire · 80

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.

“SCI-FI Lovers BEWARE! What a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! I thought this was going to be some awesome Sci-fi flick traveling through time and fighting to be with each other. (You know like all the other new Sci-fi flicks today). I was WRONG. Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman are both amazing actors, however I found the Fountain to be WAY TO artsy / independent film for me.”

“A simple story told in a very complicated way. Not the best of Aronofsky's works.”
Andres Gomezread it ↗
“Contrary to many opinions of this film, The Fountain stands as an all time favourite of mine. The layering of timelines combined with Aronofsky's eye just made for a beautiful experience. A truly underrated masterpiece.”
