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 51 comments (48 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 17 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 17 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.
“In essence, it shows that what the “horse soldiers” did was pretty remarkable — efficient, daring, effective.”
Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News · 75
“It’s a remarkable true tale of great heroism. It’s also an account of a clash of cultures.”
Soren Andersen, The Seattle Times · 75
“12 Strong represents a recent war as depicted on screen in an old-fashioned way.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 75
“The Chris Hemsworth vehicle is is often hammy, but also wryly funny, breath-stoppingly tense, and uncommonly intelligent. Its January dump is a disservice to a promising debut feature.”
Inkoo Kang, TheWrap · 70
“It's virtually all Hemsworth's show and he's entirely up to the task of carrying the film on his broad shoulders: He's charismatic, fearless, confident, jokey and a good old Kentucky boy who just wants to get the job done and return home to his wife and daughter.”
Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter · 70

“Not really my sort of thing, but I can't go so far as to say that it's "bad". It's a little formulaic and it's a lot American patriotic (ironic given that the star is Australian), but it's... I guess "professional" is the word that best suits it? I wouldn't begrudge the target market for enjoying _12 Strong_ is what I'm saying. _Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._”

“In every aspect a decent war film with a story worth telling. Too bad the cast doesn’t get to shine enough, but the technical aspect, the score and the fact that it's based on a true story still make ‘12 Strong’ worth a watch or two. 8/10”
