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 51 comments (47 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 21 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“A new American crime classic from the legendary Martin Scorsese, whose talent shines here on its highest beams.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 100
“A ferociously entertaining film.”
Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter · 100
“The Departed is Scorsese's most purely enjoyable movie in years. But it's not for the faint of heart. It's rude, bleak, violent and defiantly un-PC. But if you doubt that it's also OK to laugh throughout this rat's nest of paranoia, deceit and bloodshed, keep your eyes on the final frames. Scorsese's parting shot is an uncharacteristic, but well-earned, wink.”
David Ansen, Newsweek · 100
“The original film was gritty and entertaining ("Infernal Affairs"); the new version is a masterpiece - the best effort Scorsese has brought to the screen since "Goodfellas."”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 100
“A triumphant revisiting of territory in which Scorsese is an unchallenged master -- the crime drama.”
Glenn Kenny, Premiere · 100

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.

“I decided to celebrate the Summer Solstice by watching 'The Departed'. Don't ask me why. I had previously loved the Hong Kong-made 'Infernal Affairs' trilogy on which this is based. Usually I hate when international masterpieces get remade, but this was a sterling exception. This was controversial when it took in a cartload of Oscars, particularly finally a directorial nod for Scorsese, but don't be misled--it's easily one of his finest works. This is my Golden Rule on both remakes in general”

“The only one that can do what I do is me. Lot of people had to die for me to be me. You wanna be me?
