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 63 comments (48 from Metacritic, 9 from Reddit, 6 from TMDB reviews) — 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 10 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 — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“A chilling classic, the movie is a scabrous satire about human deviance, brutality, and social conditioning that has remained a visible part of the ongoing public debate about violence and the movies.”
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle · 100
“Kubrick's liberal, anti-authoritarian reading of Anthony Burgess's very Catholic allegorical novel is morally confused but tremendously powerful... No serious moviegoer can afford to ignore it.”
Staff (Not Credited), TV Guide Magazine · 100
“It demands thought, compels the attention, and refuses to be dismissed. And, for that reason, A Clockwork Orange must be considered a landmark of modern cinema.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 100
“Kubrick's contributions are his wit and his eye. The wit, too much at times, is as biting as in "Dr. Strangelove," and the production, while of another order, is as spectacular as in "2001." [11 Feb 1972]”
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune · 100
“A much-maligned and misunderstood classic, this is one of Kubrick's finest movies.”
Kim Newman, Empire · 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.
“honestly I just look at clockwork orange differently then other films, I totally agree with your post but honestly it's gotta be my favorite for the way the movie examines the human condition and how some things can't change. You'll never watch something else like it, I first watched it when I was like 13 and was blown away, rewatching it as an adult gives u an even greater appreciation. Shining is excellent and so is space oddessey but wildly different. On that note I just watched eyes wide shu”

“I completely agree, clockwork orange feels like Kubrick had the most fun making. It works so well as a piece discussing freedom while also able to poke fun at itself.”

“I love Barry Lyndon and I can’t say why. Something about the story and sets just got me. Most people include Paths of Glory, especially above EWS. Though EWS is another one that I really like more than I should have.”

“Kubrick spent a considerable amount of time playing around with Malcolm McDowell. He actually withheld some of McDowells salary, refusing to pay him for the time they spent playing Table Tennis. One of me favourite films of all time, but I gotta say; it’s become a ROUGH one to watch since becoming a Father.”

“The film opens up showing us Alex DeLarge and his four "Droogs." They're in a bar called the "Korova," which serves milk laced with drugs. They drink the milk and then start a night of debauchery. First, they beat up an old drunk man. Then, they beat up a rival gang in a fight straight out of a WWE match. After that, they drive to a house in the country owned by Frank Alexander, cripples him, and then ****”
