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 27 comments (26 from Metacritic, 1 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.
“Garden State gets it. Not since "The Graduate" has a movie nailed the beautiful terror of standing on the brink of adulthood with such satisfying precision.”
Peter Debruge, Premiere · 100
“There's even a Simon and Garfunkel tune on the soundtrack, which makes Braff's character seem like the only living boy in New Jersey, which, of course, he may well be. L'chaim!”
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle · 89
“Garden State is filled with characters you long to know more about, in situations to which almost anyone can relate. And that's as near a can't-miss movie formula as one can get.”
Chris Kaltenbach, Baltimore Sun · 88
“Garden State illuminates a young man's overdue coming of age with unexpected depth and grace.”
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times · 80
“Writer/director Zach Braff has threaded a powerful and intelligent personal story through a genre all too rare today – romantic comedy.”
Duane Byrge, The Hollywood Reporter · 80
