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 108 comments (80 from Reddit, 25 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 30 of them described how it moves.
γ°οΈ uneven β Peaks and dips, no clear shape. Hard going most of the way through. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 2 that landed as a blow.

βThe "payoff" of these guys being right near the end of the movie was done really well, because despite Burry, Baum & co being right, the crisis wasn't a happy ending and the movie conveyed the mixed emotions in that excellently.β

βThe best film of the year? Possibly β¦β

βI suppose you could call The Big Short a comedy. Itβs very, very funny. But itβs also a tragedy. Behind every easy drive-by laugh is a sincere holler of outrage.β
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly Β· 100
βSimply the most relentlessly entertaining film of the last few months.β
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle Β· 100
βItβs impossible to fathom how writer-director Adam McKay has turned this material into one of the funniest and yet most sobering, not to mention one of the most entertaining movies of 2015.β
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 100
βA true crime story and a madcap comedy, a heist movie and a scalding polemic, The Big Short will affirm your deepest cynicism about Wall Street while simultaneously restoring your faith in Hollywood.β
A.O. Scott, The New York Times Β· 100

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.
