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 32 comments (27 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) β 4 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 4 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 opening sign of a few of the main boys in a car sets the scene for the whole movie in my opinion, showing the freedom and carefree like nature of these teens who are slowly but surely going to grow up one day.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βLinklater is a sly and formidable talent, bringing an anthropologist's eye to this spectacularly funny celebration of the rites of stupidity. His shitfaced "American Graffiti" is the ultimate party movie -- loud, crude, socially irresponsible and totally irresistible.β
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Β· 100
βOne-liners and dry sight gags still abound, but the ennui-sodden formlessness of "Slacker" doesn't fly as well in this $ 6 million, smoothly lensed package, which calls for shapelier narrative and resolution.β
Ken Eisner, Variety Β· 100
βOne of the most exciting movies of this, or any other, year. It's smart, funny, and wonderfully crafted and performed.β
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle Β· 100
βLike so much of Linklaterβs best work, the film is profound through its being deliberately unassuming. Itβs sincere without being dopey, honest without being mean, optimistic without being oblivious of how hard the future can be.β
Dominick Suzanne-Mayer, Consequence Β· 100
βDazed and Confused distinguishes itself because it looks upon its characters with understandingβunderstanding that their foibles come from the fact that theyβre at a stage of life when theyβre still trying to figure life out.β

it reviews better than it plays β critics 88, the watch 72
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.

β**for so long its not true** I only saw it once. I dare not watch this again. For some reason it was playing at a dingy burlesque-haunted cinema on old Granville Street in Vancouver on a Sunday afternoon in 1993 where wasted men usually shuffle in to deposit their sperm. (Not enough credit goes to internet porn for cleaning up the streets). Richard Linkater wasn't a story at the time. The guy who made Slackers. The bastard love child of Jim Jarmusch and Chrissie Hynde for all I knew. No clue β

βReally solid sophomore effort by Linklater. Loved his Hitchcock homage, especially.β

β**The final day of the school, but it's just the beginning!** I won't lie that I watched it after I saw 'Everybody Wants Some!!' from the same director. Because I liked that film and I heard that was a spiritual sequel to this one. So there goes my reason. I usually love the 80s and 90s teen films, you can't compare them to what they make now. The film was from the edge of before my generation began, but I'm very related that time than the other end. So I felt very familiar and enjoyed it thoβ

β**_The last day of school in 1976_** In the Austin, Texas, area, several youths complete their last day at school and celebrate through the night. "Dazed and Confused" failed at the box office in 1993-94, but has gone on to achieve a deserved cult status. It's one of the best high school comedy-dramas, along with "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982). The difference between these two is that "Fast Times" contains more goofy antics whereas "Dazed" is more of a docudrama with amusing flashesβ
