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 48 comments (47 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 15 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 15 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.

“Two lenght hours and failed to develop the relationships between the characters”

“However, the opening scene was pretty horrible. Coupled with Liesel's screaming and her brother dying, made me feel like I was watching a horror movie.”

“The ending is honestly the best scene, the emotions and feelings are almost tangible, and though I cried, it was worth it to see that scene played out.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“This is one of the best movies of the year, featuring one of the most perfect endings of any movie in recent memory.”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 100
“Books themselves become the story's key symbol, representing the past and future, loss and possibility, of a place that's ground zero for some of history's darkest days.”
R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant Magazine · 75
“Overall, it’s engaging and serves its young audience well — a rare Holocaust movie that doesn’t strain to become Oscar bait.”
Lou Lumenick, New York Post · 75
“The simplicity of Michael Petroni’s script seems a drawback at first. But skilled director Brian Percival (Downton Abbey) slowly, effectively tightens the vise as evil intrudes into the life of this child.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 75
“The resulting film has some wrong notes and touches of preciousness, but mostly it's a moving and effective presentation of life under Nazism, as seen from an unusual angle.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 75

“As I was watching _The Book Thief_ I spent most of the time thinking "That was an odd decision to make" but I did also have the thought process "I'm not digging this really, it's not for me, but it's not bad. Like a 5 outta 10 or something". But during the credits, my roommate who was working from home because of the COVID-19 quarantine decided she was done for the day and came out into the loungeroom, and asked me to tell her about what I'd just watched. And as I was explaining to her, or tryin”
