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 51 comments (50 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 21 of them described how it moves.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays β admired more than it is enjoyed.
βThis is an unrepentantly cynical take on the hope-and-change promised to the US in 2008; this year's election race makes it look even bleaker, an icily confident black comedy of continued disillusion.β
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian Β· 100
βThe film is terribly smart in every respect, with ne'er-a-false note performances and superb craft work from top to bottom.β
Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter Β· 100
βUncompromising and uncommercial, divisive and brave, Killing Them Softly bitterly boils at the state of the nation.β
Kevin Jagernauth, The Playlist Β· 100
βKilling them Softly is a lurid and nasty little nihilistic hitman noir, with an ingenuity that sneaks up on you.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 100
βEven some who generally enjoy gangster films may be turned off by this one, with its focus on dialogue over action and its harsh style.β

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.

ββKilling Them Softlyβ has a great noir setting, superb acting and excellent cinematography, but due to the endless pointless conversations, the thin storyline ends up being extremely incoherent. 4/10β
