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 47 comments (46 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 11 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 11 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.
It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.
“A fabulous and passionate love letter to the cinema and its preservation framed by the strenuous adventures of two orphans in 1930s Paris.”
Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter · 100
“In attempting to make his first film for all ages, Martin Scorsese has fashioned one for the ages. Simultaneously classical and modern, populist but also unapologetically personal, Hugo flagrantly defies the mind-numbing quality of most contempo kidpics.”
Peter Debruge, Variety · 100
“Magical and imaginative, this eye-popping masterpiece from director Martin Scorsese will transport audiences to a place they won't believe.”
Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine · 100
“Hugo is superbly playful.”
David Denby, The New Yorker · 100
“All the actors are wonderful, including Sacha Baron Cohen as a villainous Inspector.”
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News · 100

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“Really good watch, might watch again, and can recommend. Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace-Moretz, Ben Kingsley, and Sacha Baron Cohen all give a great performance in this weird, weird setting of an alt history train station, or hell, maybe this is a true story and I'm just that unfamiliar with the birth of cinema. There is a great message of love and togetherness in this, but it's told in such an odd way. It's very refreshing, but a family movie from the point of view of an orphan is untradit”
