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 31 comments (31 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.

“take one instance when the family is mourning over the loss of the little girl (the hinging factor of the movie), and all of the actors transition instantly from mourning to just plain silliness, making the entire sequence ineffective”

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.
“The mix of dark humor, creeping suspense, and a sort of apocalyptic tenderness makes this the best horror flick in years.”
J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader · 100
“A great piece of filmmaking and a legitimate science-fiction/horror classic.”
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“Joon-Ho's epic is a masterpiece of monster cinema that's intelligent, innovative, and reaches down to the basic core of family unity to propel its story beyond mere conventions of science fiction.”
Felix Vasquez, Jr., Film Threat · 100
“The Host isn't just a terrific monster movie. This South Korean box-office smash is also a laugh-out-loud comedy and a surprisingly angry political satire.”
M. E. Russell, Portland Oregonian · 100
“I have seen The Host twice and have every intention of watching it again.”
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker · 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.
