how much it moved you
Read from 33 comments — 12 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 12 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

- how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

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.
