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 27 comments (25 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 7 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 7 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.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews β the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
βThere is enough lurid, ludicrous subtext in the material to keep fans of such things happy. As trash, this is top of the line.β
Michelle Orange, Movieline Β· 70
βRadiating a distinctly retro vibe, this throwaway thriller from the German director Christian Alvart tosses a bone to RenΓ©e Zellweger, who chews it to a nub as Emily Jenkins, a harried social worker.β
Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times Β· 50
βManages to be both very silly and highly forgettable. Only for those who collect killer-children films.β
Ian Nathan, Empire Β· 40
βIt's only a movie, and not a remotely effective one. And for Zellweger, whose "Miss Potter" and "Appaloosa" were barely seen, with "Leatherheads" and "New in Town" further deflating her A-list clout, that's the real shame here.β
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel Β· 38
βIntroduce the supernatural, and anything goes. Here, everything does. And that's a problem no one can solve. At least it wasn't called "Case 666."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.

βKeep Away From Children. Case 39 is directed by Christian Alvart and written by Ray Wright. It stars Renee Zellwegger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane and Bradley Cooper. Music is by Michl Britsch and cinematography by Hagen Bodanski. Another in the long line of demonic/psycho children films, Case 39 sat on the shelf for a few years before finally seeing the light of day around 2009. Met with a whole bunch of negative reviews it is somewhat pleasing to find that while itβs not a misunderstoodβ
