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 20 comments (15 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 1 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 1 comment. 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.

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.

“a very average boring movie about a romantic couple, but that doesnt even bring anything new, just a woman wanting love that's all.”

“The chemistry between the two main characters that's supposed to develop in these type of films is never present. Even though the premise is interesting and Sandra is a charming goof... the movie just doesn't spark that feel-good joy that any love-story-with-a-happy-ending should provoke.”

“Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. This feels like a classic watch, like a movie that started a trope...but I can't think of a single other movie that did what this movie does. Sure there are movies about comas, amnesia, lying, but they don't do it in the same way, and I honestly believe it's because this movie did it so well that no one wants to risk copying it and do worse. This is also a great example of good situational comedy without bleeding over into abuse hum”

“Insanely cheesy and overtly sentimental... yet, I kinda like 'While You Were Sleeping'.

Still: 7/10. It's the sixth Jon Turteltaub film that I've seen: I'd class each one as good. Reliab”

“**While You Were Sleeping is about more than just romance. It’s about finding family and, in this case, an adorable but crazy and entertaining family.** While You Were Sleeping is a heartwarming romantic comedy with the lead falling in love with a quirky but sincere family as much as their charming son. The script isn’t perfect, with a couple of cliche and stereotypical rom-com moments, but the cast of goofy but not completely outrageous characters keep you engaged and want to see more of the”
