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 16 comments (16 from Metacritic) β 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 2 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.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βLike βKaguya,β it functions as a highly sensitive and empathetic consideration of the situation of women in Japanese societyβbut itβs also a breathtaking work of art on its own.β

βOnly Yesterday is unabashedly modest, but in its twin dialogues between the past and the present, and the undying lure of the country and the city, itβs a singularly specific story whose message echoes decades later.β

βOnly Yesterday may have been released in 1991 and take place in 1982 and 1966, but Taekoβs reflection on girlhood is truly timeless.β

β[A] calm, reflective, gorgeously uneventful slice of nostalgic romance.β

βOnly Yesterday is animated, but rarely cartoony, in either its design or its storytelling.β

Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 24 Aug 2026. Quotes belong to their publications and link to the full reviews.
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.
