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 12 comments (10 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 3 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β 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.

βFrom the very first minute, itβs clear that everything here revolves around rhythm. Layer Cake moves with enviable ease, without wasting time on unnecessary explanations or underlining the obvious.β

βAfter about thirty minutes with this, though, the truth of the matter became painfully clear: Vaughn needs Ritchie just as much as Ritchie needs Vaughn. Layer Cake is an unpolished picture, all twist and no characterβ

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βFast, convulsive, and densely exciting new British gangster thriller.β

βDon't let the fast-and-loose vibe fool you: Right up to its operatic finale, this is one tight one last job.β
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune Β· 88
βCraig is fascinating here as a criminal who is very smart, and finds that is not an advantage because while you might be able to figure out what another smart person is about to do, dumbos like the men he works for are likely to do anything.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 88
βThings get a little tricky by the end, but it's the sort of trickery that's immensely satisfying.β

βDoesn't reveal all its layers until you've taken the last bite.β

βIt's something of a slick albeit dreary British gangster thriller, blending the usual grit and despair of its subject matter with an early-2000s stylishness (something which has made the film more distinct in character in retrospect) pulled off by Daniel Craig in his proto-Bond era.β

βI'm not a gangster, just a businessman. And my commodity happens to be cocaine. With a considerable amount of cash saved from his, ahem, dealings. A London drug dealer is all set to retire abroad and start a new life. However his mob boss Jimmy Price has two jobs for him to do immediately... Layer Cake is directed by Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn is more well known as Guy Ritchie's producer on his early British gangster genre forays. Suffice to say he had some insight into what made those films {β
