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 47 comments (43 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) β 23 of them described how it moves.
β steady β Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout β never simply one thing.

βAt its best, Magnolia towers over most Hollywood films this year.β

βPart poem, part jungle blossom, all brilliance.β

βThe kind of film I instinctively respond to. Leave logic at the door. Do not expect subdued taste and restraint, but instead a kind of operatic ecstasy.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 100
βThe kind of brilliantly weirdo picture that, by all rights, shouldn't have gotten made at all but this time, miraculously, was.β
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune Β· 100
βHands-down the best movie of the year.β

Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 28 Aug 2026. Quotes belong to their publications and link to the full reviews.
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.

βI remember seeing this in the theater with one of my friends, during our first year in college. We had all found our way back to town and... given we lived in the sticks... we ended up going to the movies out of habit and for lack of anything else to do. And I'll be honest, at the time, I walked out of the theater kind of blown away. I hadn't really seen a movie like that before. I mean, the closest thing that came to it was American Beauty, and we had only seen that a few months prior... β
