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 107 comments (70 from Reddit, 36 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 41 of them described how it moves.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 2 that landed as a blow, 1 that gave people chills.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
marks: single moments — a jump, a blow, chills, a laugh
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

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.

“The entire film is pretty much straight dialogue, but Boyle's filmmaking style is so energetic, the movie was over before I knew it. There wasn't a moment where it dragged or let up.”

“Steve Jobs is a film that has some flaws, but above all, it defiantly strikes home just how brilliant Aaron Sorkin is a writer. Steve Jobs be damned. Actors be damned. The film is all about Sorkin, which is both a gift and a curse. With every Sorkinism in the book (the film is 94% walking and talking), Steve Jobs is a magnifying, dense, and structural behemoth with writing that steals the showcase and refuses to let anyone else steal the spotlight. No matter how brilliant Michael Fassbender is a”

“"Steve Jobs" is a burst of creative energy as well as a meaningful take on our relationship to technology and the complex figure behind it all.
