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 45 comments (43 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 11 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 11 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.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βBig Fish really is a big delight.β

βA tale that's so enriching, so heartwarming, so funny, so touching and so breathtaking, you'll wonder why the king of wackiness didn't branch out sooner.β

βDirector Tim Burton finally hooks the one that got away: a script that challenges and deepens his visionary talent.β
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Β· 88
βEven with Burton's imagination turning its trademark cartwheels, the film's big beating heart holds the whimsical offshoots steady.β
Megan Lehmann, New York Post Β· 88
βHas enough tasty bait to satisfy an array of moviegoers: Burton fans, Albert Finney fans, fans of tall tales well spun by experts and fans of movies that don't look like any other.β

βFirst time seeing this since probably 2003 in theaters and it's absolutely heartfelt and charming, probably one of Tim Burton's best films, or at least one of my personal favorites of his. Great performances all around but especially Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney. Really well done. **4.5/5**β
