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 55 comments (50 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 17 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 17 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.

“The film captivates from the very beginning and doesn't release until it's over.”
Wuchak · TMDB reviews ↗
“However, this film isn't content to end on such a desperately dispiriting note as Neil's tragic suicide, so it returns to the original stance championed by Keating throughout when some of his now former students stand on their desktops in an act of defiant solidarity and also as a final salute to their departing captain.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Hurrah! Poetry and passion, comedy and tragedy are fused into one absolutely marvelous affirmation of independent spirit in Dead Poets Society. [2 June 1989, Daily Notebook, p.E1]”
Judy Stone , San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“One of Australian director Peter Weir's most sensitive films.”
Rick Schultz, Mr. Showbiz · 100
“The picture draws out the obvious and turns itself into a classic. [26 June 1989]”
Pauline Kael, The New Yorker · 100
“Sure, the heroes and villains are arranged in a convenient moral gallery. But the performances, Weir's adroit direction and John Seale's superb cinematography take care of that banality.”
Desson Thomson, Washington Post · 90
“Nothing about this film sounds, as described, novel. Yet it grips, because it has been made with plentiful feeling and vigor. [June 26, 1989]”
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic · 90

“The (very absurd) point of view of the rich people about freedom. The Movie is so pathetically formulaic that it makes you want to throw tomatoes at the screen. The Horatian ideal, of Stoic-Epicurean origin, of a life enjoyed in the good it gives us, even if it is little, is here often repeated, inaccurately, as an invitation to live joyfully. And it makes us laugh and reflect even more that it is observed from an "even higher" point of view than the already very high social class of th”
