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 27 comments (26 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 9 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 9 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.

βfaded after the first 55 running min. of "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" as I realised it will last twice as long as from now. After that it was kind of difficult to focus on the movie while not to get drowned into a dull mood.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThe director of "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" scores his most funny-sad movie to date.β

βAquatic maintains its buoyancy throughout.β

βFor those of us who think this is the best comedy of 2004, the genius of the movie lies in its relocation.β
Richard Schickel, Time Β· 100
βAn exquisitely evocative movie that elevates rueful melancholia to a superpower.β
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times Β· 90
βLike the old and creaky Belafonte, the film itself seems forever on the brink of drifting away. But it's the kind of drifting that's nothing but enjoyable. In fact, it's beyond enjoyable - heading into waters full of whimsy, mystery and odd, psychedelic fish.β
