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 52 comments (50 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 14 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 14 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.

“Bill Murray is on point and consistently entertaining to the end.”

“it does tend to try too hard to tug at the heart strings near the end.”

“until the last part when really tired cliches almost ruin it. A too sugar-coated ending”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Nearly every scene is contrived, but Melfi has a nice way with dialogue, and the cast is uniformly outstanding.”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 88
“This may not be his signature work, but it’s Murray at the top of his game in the type of role audiences want to see him in.”
Gregory Ellwood, Hitfix · 83
“With St. Vincent, the chief pleasure is comedy, which typically arises from waiting to discover what Bill Murray might do next.”
Peter Debruge, Variety · 80
“Murray is always a delight, but his films with kids (“Meatballs,” “Rushmore,” “The Royal Tenenbaums”) give his unencumbered playfulness even more room to roam.”
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News · 80
“If you scratch the surface too deeply, a few things might not ring true, but there’s no greater pleasure to be had than the film’s opening and closing sequences during which Murray, alone on the screen, dances, then sings along to the music coming through his headphones.”
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle · 78

“Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend. Any movie that gets me to well up with tears is an automatic winner in my book. I always wanted to see Bill Murray play a grumpy old man, and this movie is a little more "About a Boy" than "Up!", but it's a good middle ground between the two. There is something wholesome, even when it's specifically not, about a kid being taught life lessons by someone. It's something special that I feel like I haven't see enough of, and I'd love to do ”

“i had watched this years ago, and upon watching it again recently, I was surprised to see that it features Melissa McCarthy. I must not have been as familiar with her special comedic skills then as I am now or I would have remembered. This is one of my favorite quiet films. It ends up as a feel good movie — one of those where a large group of people appreciate someone at the end. Like anything from the Alan King character in Memories of Me (at his funeral!) to the exceedingly less likable Al ”
