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 12 comments (7 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 3 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 3 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 — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Flatliners is a stylish, eerie psychological horror film laced with wit, a movie that thrives on its characters' guilty secrets and succeeds on the strength of the director Joel Schumacher's flair for just this sort of smart, unpretentious entertainment.”
Caryn James, The New York Times · 80
“Flatliners is a strikingly original, often brilliantly visualized film from director Joel Schumacher and writer Peter Filardi.”
Staff (Not Credited), Variety · 80
“It's much to Schumacher's credit that Flatliners, for all of its crazy excess, does not turn into camp.”
Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune · 75
“Flatliners is an original, intelligent thriller, well-directed by Joel Schumacher. I only wish it had been restructured so we didn't need to go through the same crisis so many times.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 75
“Flatliners is a heart-stopping, breathtakingly sumptuous haunted house of a movie.”
Rita Kempley, Washington Post · 75

“Linha Mortal é um filme com um conceito poderoso, um elenco talentoso e uma estética interessante, mas tudo isso é sabotado por um roteiro preguiçoso e uma direção que não tem coragem de ir fundo. Não é ruim, tá longe disso. Mas também não é o cult que tenta parecer.É o típico "filme de locadora dos anos 90": chama atenção pela capa e ideia, mas quando termina, você pensa: "pô, podia ser melhor".Nota 6.0 — Legal. Mas só isso.Vale a pena ver? Vale, pela curiosidade, pela vibe nostálgica, pelos at”

“There is always a risk involved when revisiting cinema from the past and dusting it off in favor of an ambitious remake for the consideration of today’s adventurous movie-going audience. Hollywood has done this tactic for decades now so this is nothing new to contemplate as food for thought. It is one thing to try and bring back the freshness and impact of the original blueprint from yesteryear for a distinctive film that proved to be critically acclaimed, extremely popular, conveniently trendy ”

“I thought the original _Flatliners_ was okay, but I was never a big fan. That said, I was still at least partly on board for the potential of a _Flatliners_ TV series. That idea was abandoned in favour of a straight up film-remake, but still I was interested if for no other reason than the cast. The end result? This one's even worse than the original. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._”

“Line of flatness for fans of the original - for others not so much. Strictly on a personal level, I always felt that the original Flatliners was average at best. A missed opportunity to use the premise for frightening results, to unnerve, unhinge, whilst intelligently examining the life after death question. So when news of this 2017 remake broke I wasn't in the least bit surprised, the idea at the narrative core was ripe for further filmic delvings. Niels Arden Oplev's 2017 version is it”

“So this is like Flatliners... only its not as scary because modern audiences. And it doesn't offer the same satire because modern audiences. And it gender-swapped the main character because modern audiences. And because of the Swap she couldn't be as dynamic because that would show weakness and yadda yadda yadda so you end up not really caring because she never comes across as a real person, just checked boxes. And in the end you have wasted a chunk of your life again because you Millen”
