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 33 comments (33 from Metacritic) — 14 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 14 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 chemistry between these two is legit. Hough and Duhamel make the romantic tension feel natural, their connection pulling you into the story, especially when their budding relationship starts to feel like Katie’s only shot at a fresh **** then, boom—the thriller element kicks in, and everything shifts”

“The one thing that really bothers me about this movie is the end. There is a pretty substantial plot twist in the middle of the movie, but then another one is thrown in at the very last scene. It is completely unnecessary and takes the film from being”

“The ending truly through me for a loop but I think it was a great way to tie it all together.”

“You MUST WATCH UNTIL THE END!”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“A sentimental romantic thriller. But it’s a well-made sentimental romantic thriller, and that makes all the difference.”
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald · 75
“Safe Haven offers an unsurprising but not unsatisfying tour through recognizable Sparkville terrain.”
Justin Chang, Variety · 60
“"Salmon Fishing In The Yemen" and "Chocolat" man Hallström is an old pro at navigating this kind of undemandingly dramatic yarn and does a pretty fine job with Sparks' story.”
Anna Smith, Empire · 60
“Safe Haven is a species of Gothic chick flick.”
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor · 58
“Reading a Sparks novel allows one's imagination to enter the equation. Watching one of his stories adapted on screen has exactly the opposite effect: it neuters the imagination. This is soap opera, pure and simple.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 50

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.
