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 13 comments (13 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.

“the two dance around like marionettes with a sliced string or two for the next couple hours, narrowly avoiding each other's identities while gnashing teeth and slinging mud in the press. It's an irritating story, filled with irritating people doing irritating things.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The most successful version yet of this familiar premise.”
Lael Lowenstein, Variety · 90
“Warm, smart, and funny!”
Jay Carr, Boston Globe · 88
“The film's mix of romance and reading matter is seductive in its own right, providing comfy book-lined settings and people who are what they read and write.”
Janet Maslin, The New York Times · 80
“A valentine to the happenstance miracle of lovers and other strangers, a movie that regards modern romance as something that is, ultimately, old-fashioned to its core.”
Steve Davis, Austin Chronicle · 78
“A perfectly enjoyable star vehicle that does exactly what it sets out to do. [7 May 1999, p.66]”
Ty Burr, Entertainment Weekly · 75

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.
