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 35 comments (34 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 12 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 12 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.

βWith the exception of the scene where Arthur Edens strips, Michael Clayton is actually pretty understated.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays β admired more than it is enjoyed.
βIt's better than good; it's such a crackling and mature and accomplished movie that it just about restores your faith.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 100
βIt's a rare film that can challenge our minds and rattle our nerves so profoundly. This is unequivocally a thriller for adults. A deftly written, tautly suspenseful and intellectually demanding morality tale.β
Claudia Puig, USA Today Β· 100
βI don't know what vast significance Michael Clayton has (it involves deadly pollution but isn't a message movie). But I know it is just about perfect as an exercise in the genre.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 100
βAt once spare and dense, chilly and thrilling, literate and visceral, it feeds in gray areas, teasing ambiguities and conundrums out of shadows and making strengths of inconclusiveness and uncertainty.β

βThis loving throwback to the paranoid thrillers of the β70s is a beauty.β

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.

βHonestly, I don't even like George Clooney as an actor, but I love John Grisham books and this script was the perfect vehicle for Clooney. I actually was riveted to this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it.β
