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 54 comments (48 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) — 19 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 19 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 2 hours certainly fly by with this one.”
TheCakerBaker · TMDB reviews ↗
“Argo is undoubtedly one of the most intense cinematic experiences I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. From the very first frame, this film had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath in anticipation of what was to come next.”
Nathan · TMDB reviews ↗
“The director's use of cinematography to create a sense of claustrophobia and tension is masterful, with every shot making the viewer more and more anxious. The cramped cubicles of the embassy, the small apartment building, and the crowded streets of Iran all contribute to the overwhelming feeling of being trapped with no escape.”

“the tarmac chase scene seemed completely implausible / uneccessary and inserted for drama. I understand that this is a dramatization but this just took me out of it and is my biggest gripe.”

“Never dull and never typical.”
Trailesque · Metacritic ↗
“Argo retranscrit cette tension permanente et croissante avec soin et une habileté certaine. C’est très bien mené, les acteurs sont convaincants (sauf Ben l’affligeant évidemment encore trop… tocard…) et on ne s’ennuie pas une seconde.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.
“If there was any doubt Ben Affleck has turned into an exceptional director, his wildly entertaining, pulse-pounding thriller Argo will handily erase those thoughts.”
Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine · 100
“Argo is never less than wildly entertaining, but a major part of its power is that it so ominously captures the kickoff to the world we're in now.”
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly · 100
“Argo is a triumph. It has tension, sincerity, mystery, artistic responsibility, entertainment value, technical expertise, a narrative arc and a thrilling respect for the tradition of how to tell a story with minimum frills and maximum impact. It's a great footnote to history, one of the best films of 2012 and a sure-fire contender on Oscar night.”
Rex Reed, Observer · 100
“Argo works superbly on two levels, first as a white-knuckle re-enactment of events in Iran and scrambling strategies in Washington.”
Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times · 100
“Simply put, Argo is why we go to movies.”
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic · 100

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 think there really is no other way to say this and please excuse my english. Argo f@#$% yourself (in a good way!). Watch it and you will understand. Solid member of my 'so worth it' category.”
