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 91 comments (49 from Metacritic, 40 from Reddit, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 19 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 19 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.

“I actually teared up only when Paul Giamatti was talking about his daughter and the weather, and his reaction when Travers gave him the list of handicapped people.”
“At first you think he's just the funny limo driver, and then he tells Travers about his daughter. Ugh what a great scene.”

“there were a handful of great scenes that just sneak up on you suddenly and tug at the heartstrings (Let's Go Fly a Kite being the stand-out moment)”

“During the credits they play an old recording of P L Travers talking to the Disney crew when they were actually discussing the making of "Marry Poppins" and it was really nice to see how well Thompson was able to capture her.”

“He packed in an genuinely emotional punch toward the end, talking about his childhood with PL Travers, though.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“It was never going to be “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Reserve that honor for the film that inspired it. But Saving Mr. Banks is still one of the best pictures of the year.”
Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service · 88
“Taken on its own, Saving Mr. Banks is a pleasant, crowd-pleasing endeavor. For those with a soft spot for Mary Poppins, however, it's a treasure.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 88
“Saving Mr. Banks is a wholesomely square film about a wholesomely square film. But damned if its sugar doesn't go down like honey.”
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly · 83
“It’s Thompson as the heroically unbiddable Travers who makes the most of it; her bravura performance effectively dominates the film.”
David Gritten, The Telegraph · 80
“It’s a bit square, never particularly surprising, yet very rich in its sense of creative people and their spirit of self-reinvention.”
Scott Foundas, Variety · 80

“Nicely done movie with great performances from Thompson and Hanks. Also Farrell, which a role made perfectly for him. The story is well threaded, letting us walk through Travers childhood and the birth of the main characters in Mary Poppins' books.”

“Utterly brilliant! I haven't watched <em>'Mary Poppins'</em> itself in many, many years but still have memories of it as a kid. That meant I had the desired knowledge of the key parts about that film, which I'd say is probably wise to watch before this - though not a requirement, at least in my opinion. Ironically, Travers' complaints about the animation segments to the 1964 film are justified on my end - I've been on a Disney marathon since May, but to "shorten" the watch load I decided t”
