how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β 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 51 comments (47 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) β 34 of them described how it moves.
γ°οΈ uneven β Peaks and dips, no clear shape. Pulled both ways throughout β never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow.

βOver the next ninety minutes he has to use the phone and his wits to try to track down some phone numbers who can help find his particular hole in the ground. This, bear in mind, is before we all had GPS on our telephones - so it's quite a frantic affair as he begins to realise the dangers of his predicament.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βIn theory, we go to movies for enjoyment. Director Rodrigo CortΓ©s inverts that notion with Buried, a terrific, claustrophobic, fist-clenching film in which he tortures his audience in exquisite fashion.β
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic Β· 90
βThe use of 2:35 wide screen paradoxically increases the effect of claustrophobia. I would not like to be buried alive.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 88
βThis exercise in racked nerves makes most of the year's thrillers look like flailing maniacs by comparison.β
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune Β· 88
βThe movie works not because of twists and switchbacks in the narrative, but because of the skill with which CortΓ©s has conceived this singularly disturbing nightmare.β
James Berardinelli, ReelViews Β· 88
βThose drawn to unusual, unflinching feats of filmmaking and rare acting turns as well as sustained suspense will be captivated by Buried.β

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.
