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 26 comments (21 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 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.

“The first 47 minutes were a total waste of time; when one keeps an eye on time waiting for the movie 'to start' it says it all.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“It’s a warm, approachable movie that you’ll get blissfully lost in.”
Matthew Jackson, The A.V. Club · 91
“This is Hathaway’s movie, and she owns it: independent, desirable and never, ever desperate.”
Peter Debruge, Variety · 90
“Even though “The Idea of You” adheres to many of the time-tested elements of the Rom-Com Playbook, the premise is a bit tricky and could have turned cringey in the wrong hands. Instead, the potential “ick” factor is played for just the right combination of cringe humor and legit insights about how even in 2024, we tend to be more shocked and judgmental about age-gap romances when it’s the woman who is older.”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 88
“By the end of this adaptation, we get the full picture of this romance and the two people involved.”
Rafael Motamayor, IndieWire · 83
“It’s clear those behind The Idea of You hold a genuine affection and care for the story, rather than the ironic eye that a book like this could so easily invite from a lesser team.”

“I am not usually drawn to romantic films where a woman changes her life and finds love when she least expects it. These films don't typically resonate with me, but I watched this one for review purposes and found myself really enjoying it. While the plot is simple, it is not without charm, and the acting meets the expectations for this genre, complete with its share of cheesy moments. However, it tells a pleasant story with some worthwhile themes. The plot may be straightforward, but it is ex”
