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 52 comments (48 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 8 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 8 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.

“acabar con "I'm still standing" fue un acierto, porque nos dice que a pesar de todos esos problemas, Elton Jhon sigue en pie mejor”

“A cena do seu primeiro show, em slow motion, com ele e as pessoas sendo suspensas no ar ficou incrível.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Not only does Egerton have Elton’s look and mannerisms down to an uncanny degree, he also musters up enough of his subject’s signature showmanship to give a performance that’s joyously at peace with its own preposterousness.”
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph · 100
“Rocketman is as fabulously mercurial and debauched as its subject; anything less would have been futile and disappointing.”
Kim Hughes, Original-Cin · 100
“Fletcher is the real star of this show, a director whose enthusiasm for musical storytelling shines through every frame, hitting all the emotional high notes.”
Mark Kermode, The Observer (UK) · 100
“What makes Rocketman a gift of entertainment that keeps on giving is the brilliance of the musical numbers coupled with the complexity of the star’s portrayal.”
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal · 90
“Rocketman is an unforgettable, emotional experience that raises the bar for biopics.”
Simon Thompson, IGN · 90

“There’s so much that works about ‘Rocketman’, so the fact it never fully commits to its musical fantasy conceit is a bit of a disappointment. It ends up aligning most with Julie Taymor’s curious 2007 Beatles musical ‘Across the Universe’ - a really great idea and approach to the work of a musical artist that never finds its feet or the bravery to fully be itself. It’s still a moving and occasionally stirring portrait of Elton John, and while the lack of emotional or narrative detail in the scree”

“_Rocketman_ tries to walk a line between the paint-by-numbers musician biopic bog standard, and epic musical fantasy. A lot of the time when a movie tries to be a blend of two things, it ends up being neither. _Rocketman_, conversely, ends up being both, just never at the same time. It's basically two movies, and that epic musical fantasy movie I was talking about that's in there, that's a **great** movie. Unfortunately, the other one, is not so much. I'm still gonna come away giving it a recomm”

“I am honestly sort of split down the middle here. I mean, I THOUGHT it was going to be about Elton John... and it was... ...kind of... ... but it was also a lot more fantasy and fiction than it was a biopic, and had I known that I might not have bothered watching it.
