how good a time it was

MEANINGFUL

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 11 comments (6 from TMDB reviews, 5 from Metacritic) — 5 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 5 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.

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.
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

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.

“I thought it was quite relaxing to watch, with the sounds of nature in the background (waterfalls, birds etc.). It has an aimlessness about it which I found quite pleasing, so I don't mean that in a bad way.”

“I liked the camerawork showing the sort of 'open (country and urban) road' driving the men do near the start”

“I liked the camerawork showing the sort of 'open (country and urban) road' driving the men do near the start and end of the film.”

“This is totally the kind of movie that can get the nickname of ''Nothing happens'' And I could certainly support that sentiment, but Old Joy isn't such a simple movie, I mean, it is, but if you're paying attention, the perspective is quite interesting. Time isn't kind, and the line between nostalgia for the past and the way things are now can be blurred, but it will never change things.”

“The trademark final act revelation not only negatively affects the main theme of the movie but also raises dozens of plot and character inconsistencies, too many to handle.”

“the rest of it is slow and dull to watch.”

“The last twenty minutes could have retrieved the situation had they be handled better, but what little jeopardy - or plausibility the story had had until then just evaporated.”
CinemaSerfabout 80–100% inread it ↗
“The entire movie feels jumbled together, the pacing moves incredibly fast and choppy at some points, jumping from one small event to another. As a viewer you never get to sit in atmosphere of what has just occurred because it rips you away into another event.”
