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 59 comments (48 from Metacritic, 7 from Reddit, 4 from TMDB reviews) β 19 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β 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.

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.
βIn short, they don't make 'em like this one anymore. Viewing it is like taking a time machine to a movie age that was more naive than our own in some ways, more sophisticated and ambitious in others.β

βWhat a bold, mad act of genius it was, to make Lawrence of Arabia, or even think that it could be made.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 100
βIt's perhaps only because it can't be seen in its full glory on television that "Lawrence" isn't ranked more highly on some recent all-time "best film" lists. But it belongs near the very top. It's an astonishing, unrepeatable epic.β
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune Β· 100
βRiveting from beginning to end, featuring stellar performances, amazing cinematography, and a story without a trace of fat, the film does everything an epic is supposed to do - and more.β
James Berardinelli, ReelViews Β· 100
βDavid Lean's splendid biography of the enigmatic T.E. Lawrence paints a complex portrait of the desert-loving Englishman who united Arab tribes in battle against the Ottoman Turks during WWI.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.

βI watched it again a month ago for a 3rd or 4th time and later described it to a friend as about an intellectual pacifist who slowly realizes he loves war and violence. I think the the scope of the film is larger than that premise but I think that tension might be a part of why it still resonates for people today. I also like the length given there's an intermission, I wish more long films would be open to that.β

βThis is obviously an epic film, lasting nearly four hours with the wide, sweeping desert vistas and huge cast. It describes a fairly brief period of time out of a remarkable manβs life. I wonder how modern viewers handle the length of the movie, accustomed as they are to movies this lengthy featuring superheroes with humor and almost constant action. I donβt even remember how long ago I originally watched Lawrence of Arabia βquite possibly forty or more years ago. It has aged pretty well oveβ
