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 110 comments (81 from Reddit, 25 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 18 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 18 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.

It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.

“Mulan is a spirit lifter, and though it doesn’t arrive as planned, it could not arrive at a better time.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“An epic coming of age journey with scale and spectacle, and rousing heart, Mulan, is a triumph and essentially boils down to a wholehearted tale of feminine resolve, proving the boys wrong and making a father proud while being true to one’s self. That sounds a little simplistic, but Caro’s movie has surprising layers, of color, contour, and shade to shape her magnificent new empowering fairy tale.”
Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist · 91
“Mulan is distinct enough from its predecessor that it hardly seems like a remake at all.”
Thom Ernst, Original-Cin · 91
“Beautiful. Even on the small screen. Yes, it’s a shame that American audiences won’t be able to see Niki Caro’s spectacular live-action epic “Mulan” in theaters, but the good news is this is such a great-looking film, with amazing set pieces and dazzling action and colors so vibrant they would dazzle a Crayola factory, it will still play well on your home monitor.”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 88
“Shooting largely on New Zealand’s South Island, Caro has a beautiful knack for fluid transitions: the witch entering the body of an unsuspecting traveler in silhouetted shadow, for example, or a simple, fixed composition of Mulan riding from one side of the screen to the other, in extreme long shot. The dizzying wuxia martial arts action, with warriors sprinting up, down and sideways, defying gravity, propel the action scenes without overwhelming them.”
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune · 88

“A travesty in film form. Disney have absolutely perfected their method of taking their best work and reducing it to its worst possible version. I cannot understand why they changed so much of it. Mulan is already a superhero. She is literally born perfect with magic abilities. No flaws, no problems, and no issues to deal with except for being too awesome as apparently being a superhero just isn't proper for a lady. There really is nothing to this character. She doesn't have to develop or confro”

“Ouais, c’est la version de chez Disniais-woke mais tournée comme si on était en Chine communiste (la propagande historique patriotique de base est incluse) avec cependant des effets spéciaux de qualité et un rythme un peu moins lénifiant… encore que, je ne suis plus très sûr, c’est peut-être l’inverse en fait… Car il me semble avoir usé de l’avance rapide moins souvent dans le film chinois que dans le film américain… mais bon, c’est un combat d’infirmes, on ne va pas tirer sur deux ambulances no”

“I don't know what it is, modern feminists or woke equity politics, but how do you do such a bad job with something so easy. The source material has already established a massive fan base, and the story is already written. All they have to do is transcribe it from book to screen, and you'd have the best show of the decade. It's so simple. You have to be a extremely bad writer/director/producer to make something so great so bad. It's also extremely unethical to take someone's life's work and chang”
