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 46 comments (42 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 22 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.

“it can't pay off with a pandering mainstream ending, the makers are telling a true story and any sort of research will lead viewers to the fact that there is no twist here, no joyous ticket selling round of applause at this ending, it is what it is, frustratingly brilliant”
John Chard · TMDB reviews ↗
“Even though it's 2.75 hours, never gets dull and is engrossing through and through”
JPV852 · TMDB reviews ↗
“after more than two hours we don’t learn who [has] done it so much as who-a-very-small-group-of-people-think-done-it”

“In the first half of the film the mystery is great, I was guessing who the killer was and every other 5 minutes I thought of somebody else”
MatePolcz · Metacritic ↗
“after a while it was obvious who it was. Maybe it was a little too obvious and that's why I thought it would be somebody else. That's probably why I was a little underwhelmed at the end.”

“surprisingly ambiguous ending”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Zodiac exhausts more than one genre. Termite art par excellence, it burrows for the sake of burrowing, as fascinated by its own nooks and crannies as "Inland Empire."”
Nathan Lee, Village Voice · 100
“The movie holds you in its grip from start to finish.”
David Ansen, Newsweek · 100
“Zodiac never veers from its stoically gripping, police-blotter tone, yet it begins to take on the quality of a dream.”
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly · 100
“Zodiac is the rare serial-killer movie in which the psychosis stems as much from the pursuers (and the filmmaker) as the pursued.”
Scott Tobias, The A.V. Club · 100
“Fincher gets it all right, and Donovan's hippie-dippy "Hurdy Gurdy Man," which bookends the story, has never sounded so hauntingly menacing.”
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide Magazine · 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.
