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 17 comments (14 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 2 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.
βThe underlying seriousness of MacLaine's performance helps anchor the picture--it raises the stakes, and steers it away from any tendency to become musical beds.β

βAbsolutely brilliant. It's funnier, sadder and cooler on the big screen.β

βThe Apartment represents Wilder at his most complete - seamlessly weaving the lighthearted and the serious without encountering a snarl or tangle.β

βIncredible stuff, doesn't seem to have a single moment or line that doesn't contain a payoff. A three in a row of Witness for the Prosecution, Some Like it Hot, and The Apartment is all time stuff from Wilder. "Premium-wise and billing-wise, we are eighteen percent ahead of last year, October-wise." is a throwaway line worthy of the best comedies.β

βThe Apartment is still Billy Wilder classic that makes a great showcase of its leads from Jack Lemmon and Shirley McLaine. So great seeing this at my local arthouse theater.β

βA tiypical Billy Wilder comedy. Fun and with great script and performance from Jack Lemmon. A must to see.β

β**It's a good movie, but Best Picture at the Oscars? Franklyβ¦** I really enjoyed this film, largely thanks to the lightness of its story, and the funny way in which the film plays with the situation in which the protagonist finds himself intertwined. The film was, in fact, the big winner of the Oscars in its year, with ten nominations and five statuettes (Best Editing, Best Art Direction in Black and White, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director and, the icing on the cake, Best movie).
