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.
Not a rating. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve — shown next to the community score above, never mixed into it.
Read from 24 comments (23 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 6 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.

“everything from the halfway point to when all the revelations come out about who Rancho really is/when everyone is reconnected is so much unnecessary movie for the sake of more movie”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“There's an unavoidable joie de vivre (symbolized by Rancho's meditative mantra "All is well") and a performance charm that make this one of the more naturally gregarious Bollywood imports.”
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times · 70
“3 Idiots takes a while to lay out its game plan but pays off emotionally in its second half.”
Derek Elley, Variety · 70
“In writer-director Rajkumar Hirani's tuneful, enjoyable college comedy, 3 Idiots, Khan plays "Rancho," an engineering student so brilliant that he barely has to break a sweat to place first in his class.”
David Chute, Village Voice · 70
“The film's good points, though, are marred by a slow start and a nerve-jangling soundtrack.”
Lisa Tsering, The Hollywood Reporter · 60

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.

“3 Idiots is a brilliant mix of humor, emotion, and inspiration. Aamir Khan shines, and the film’s message about following your passion really hits home. Funny, touching, and unforgettable—a must-watch!”
