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 15 comments (11 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) β 7 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 7 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.

βRope is not merely a stunt that is justified by the extraordinary career that contains it, but one of the movies that makes that career extraordinary.β
Vincent Canby, The New York Times Β· 100
βOne of the cinema's supreme, most outrageously eccentric and audacious technical experiments: the legendary single shot movie.β
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune Β· 100
βA crime for most, a privilege for some is how Rupert classifies murder, but Hitchcock's eye-am-a-camera technique in Rope is after more than Nazi-superman residue still lurking after WWII.β

βRope was the first Alfred Hitchcock/James Stewart collaboration. They would go on to do "Rear Window", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", and finally, "Vertigo". This being the first, and also a kind of experimental film on Hitchcock's part, it is the weakest of the four. Shot as a play, mainly in one room, and with only a handful of cast members, the concept of how it was done is intriguing even today.

The single-take gimmick overshadows the storytelling, leaving it feeling more like a stage play trapped in a cinematic format.
