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 43 comments (41 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 10 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.

“the film goes on for a bit too long”
Manuel São Bento · TMDB reviews ↗
“Some parts of the film drag on”
Thug-Negus · Metacritic ↗
“The movie actually started good. The conversations Pope Benedict and Cardinal Bergoglio share are actually pretty well written and acted.”
BrunoVn00 · Metacritic ↗
“I found myself dozing off during the last hour of the movie. I don't know, the movie just stopped being interesting after a while, not because I'm not interested in the catholic church but because the way the rest of the movie is executed during that last hour is really...Boring.”
BrunoVn00 · Metacritic ↗
“its sometimes-uneven pacing and occasionally wooden exchanges tend to bog down the flow of the narrative”
Brent_Marchant · Metacritic ↗
“the second half of the film contains a very large flash back sequence that isn't as good as the rest of the film and overstays it's welcome a bit”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“What makes The Two Popes so delightful, other than the very funny script, is watching two seasoned actors play off each other for two hours. Both Hopkins and Pryce illustrate what the craft of acting is really about.”
Sasha Stone, TheWrap · 100
“It is extremely difficult to make something as invisible and ineffable as religious faith seem real, let alone touching, on film; doing that is only one of the achievements of Fernando Meirelles’ unusual look inside the papacy.”
Kate Taylor, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 100
“The Two Popes is movie nirvana, but anyone watching could appreciate the clash between these opposing dispositions and world views.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“Anchored by two outstanding performances from Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, the film is a triumph of writing as well as unostentatious filmmaking.”
Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter · 90
“While its subject may be religious, The Two Popes doesn’t want to convert the viewer. Rather, as an extraordinary piece of writing — and an even more impressive showcase for its actors — it eloquently communicates the importance of giving people something to believe in.”
Peter Debruge, Variety · 90

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.
