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 15 comments (11 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) β 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 2 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.

βThe transformation of Day Lewis' character from a man who wasn't responsible enough to take care of himself to a man who vows to fight for his father's name is brilliantly heartwarming!β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βFor in relating the true story of Conlon's wrongful conviction and 15-year imprisonment, Sheridan has used the tools of the filmmaker to evoke a visceral echo of Conlon's waking nightmare.β

βJim Sheridan skillfully interweaves a myriad of subplots and themes into a fast-paced, cohesive whole.β

βBut the filmmakers have invigorated and enriched the story through the use of a thousand details, a strong sense of time and place, outstanding characterizations and a display of energy and cinematic flair that marks an advance on "My Left Foot."β

βSheridan, however, works with such piercing fervor and intelligence that In the Name of the Father just about transcends its tidy moral design.β

βAnd, riskiest of all, the film makers eschewed another grainy documentary go at the subject in favor of a movie drama of one of the most compelling true stories of the modern troubles.β

βAt last a good movie. Very solid court drama with actual plot, proper characters, pacing, plucking at your heart strings at all the right moments and having something to say about the human nature.β

βAmazing movie. Daniel Day Lewis is spectacular as expected. But the real star of the show was Pete Postlethwaite.β

β**A low-key, much-forgotten but well-executed film.** This movie is totally forgotten these days. Well, actually, if you're not native or very close to Ireland, I think the very existence and action of the IRA seems like something that ended many years ago, and it doesn't. It was a recent thing, and it still has marks on people and society. The film focuses, in particular, on the case of the βGuildford Fourβ and the βMaguire Sevenβ, which was a group of people who were accused of a bomb attacβ

β**Oscar for Best Duo Daniel Day-Lewis and Pete Postlethwaite**strong text**** The movie tries to convey the horrors of injustice, investigation, and rulings under the pretext of emergency laws and terrorism, but the details of these laws make us laugh by today's standards, even not when the film was shown in 1993.
