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 14 comments (13 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 1 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 1 comment. 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 last 15 minutes of heroics and superhuman feats are almost unwatchable.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“It’s good—not a knockout by any means, but a modern example of the sort of movie that used to be a permanent asset in Hollywood’s studio portfolio: a well-crafted but accessible biopic about the maturation of a person who helped shape the nation’s image of itself.”
Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com · 75
“Young Washington gets credit for attempting the impossible and for succeeding too, at least to the extent of being entertaining.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 75
“This one survives on strong performances and Erwin’s confident sense of place — not groundbreaking cinema, but a well-made piece of American cinematic history.”
Alan Ng, Film Threat · 75
“It’s a story about a somewhat callow young man learning to put responsibility and ethics over ambition, and if that sounds dry, well, it is.”
Alonso Duralde, The Film Verdict · 60
“Aimed at a Christian demographic, the film plays like an ‘Afterschool Special’ with a hot Brit model acting the twentysomething rebel before he became our first POTUS. The film sticks surprisingly close to history without finding a satisfying way to enliven it.”

“Day in and day out I hear on social media how **** America is from people who are privileged to live here so its good to see a movie like this that focuses on how we got here - through the sacrifices of people who dreamed of something better and werent afraid to make it happen. While there are some hokey moments that made even me roll my eyes, it was ultimately a nice break from all tye self-loathing and cynicism we drown in every day. Good production values and acting all around. Kudos to Eilli”

“TERRIBLE: Angel Studios' films being bad is nothing new, but this is downright atrocious even for them”

“Tremendous movie with a meaningful story about overcoming pride and entitlement to dig deep and accomplish something bigger. The fact that it is a true story and speaks to the founder of America, and not even in an appealing light, just adds to its value. It is also interesting in that AI was used to assist with VFX explosions and smoke to a great effect. This is the first major film I have heard of doing this and you would be mistaken to think this wis not an emerging trend in cinema. Th”

“Jon Erwin’s Young Washington stepped onto the July 4th box office stage carrying a heavy burden of expectation and technical skepticism, yet it ultimately delivers a crowd-pleasing, deeply patriotic theatrical experience. Rather than presenting the flawless, untouchable monument found on a dollar bill, the narrative’s greatest asset is its willingness to focus squarely on Washington’s early military failures during the French and Indian War. By examining how these formative, often devastating mi”
