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 75 comments (46 from Metacritic, 26 from Reddit, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 18 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 18 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.

“everything feels artificially constructed to make things as horrible as possible for everybody, and because of that I feel disconnected from the movie and its intended impact. It feels so didactic from the start and never gives you a moment to ground yourself in a real reality that can connect you to the characters”

“The end fucked me up watching them all curl up into fetal position as the most innate, natural, human way to self soothe.. reminding us at the end that addicts all began just like the rest, just an innocent soul.. someone's baby..”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“No one interested in the power and magic of movies should miss it.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 100
“Aronofsky has fashioned a chilling vision that lives up to the caustic irony of its title and gives us a nightmare that is not lightly forgotten.”
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer · 100
“May be the first movie to fully capture the way that drugs dislocate us from ourselves.”
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly · 100
“He (Aronofsky) has put together a phantasmagoria of self-destructive obsession that is so visually astounding it becomes its own saving grace. Otherwise, we might not be able to bear it.”
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“Burstyn is astonishing, forsaking all vanity to make silly biddy Sara a fully dimensioned human being.”
Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian · 91

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.

“Only my second viewing of this, last time probably was when it came out on DVD, and not one I'll re-watch anytime soon, but still a great drama featuring incredible performances, most notably Ellen Burstyn who was worthy of her Oscar nomination. Has some darkly wild moments and a swing in tones, guess giving viewers insights into the highs and lows of heroine use. Not entertaining in so much as fascinating film worth it for some of the visuals and acting. **4.5/5**”
