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 112 comments (77 from Reddit, 32 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 44 of them described how it moves.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
marks: single moments — a jump, a blow, chills, a laugh
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

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.

“until then end when they really want us to be excited for a sequel. Why did they need to push that so hard. It could have ended on a high note after the six months thing. The extra scene was too much.”

“just how bad that ending was going to be. Once that poison gas hits, the movie was suffocated. The static room's "special effects" aka funhouse mirrors were laughable and it just kept going downhill from there”

“The twists are predictable, the characters feel too archetypal, and the final resolution doesn’t live up to what was promised. There’s a clear obsession with laying the groundwork for a possible sequel, which weakens the ending.”

“I went into this excited about the premise, but left disappointed by the execution. Make no mistake, the focal point of this movie isn't about cool rooms, interesting puzzles, or challenging clues to overcome - it's about the motivations of 6 of the most unlikable characters you may ever see in a film. It suffers from 'little kid trying to be an adult'-syndrome similar to how when a 12-year-old learns something is edgy they do it CONSTANTLY to seem like an adult to the point of doing it to an im”

“This is really about some amazingly inventive visuals as we follow some well-deserving egotists and miscreants who find themselves caught up in lethal, industrial scale, version of the "Adventure Game". They've been lured by the prospect of winning quite a measly $10k, so we ought not to be surprised by the quality of entrant for this adventure as they must pit their collective wits against a designer from hell. The whole point of the game, though, is that they do have a chance, if they can thin”
