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 7 comments (7 from Metacritic) — none of them described how it moves.
So the shape below is not a measured arc. It is this title's overall sentiment held flat across the runtime, with the widest uncertainty band we draw. People talked about this title; they did not talk about how it paces.
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.
“In its sensitivity and attention to detail, Ocean Waves makes itself into something special, and kind of magical, and so proves very much a Ghibli gem.”
Glenn Kenny, The New York Times · 80
“Ocean Waves is worth watching to see just how much a company like Ghibli can bring to a relatively simple tale.”
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com · 75
“Ocean Waves is a deeply charming and resonant look at the tug of longing that so often comes with memory, the utter mess of youth, and the beautiful delirium of love.”
Gary Garrison, The Playlist · 75
“Hindsight has revealed the quiet resonance that’s been humming inside this tiny film ever since it first set out to sea.”
David Ehrlich, IndieWire · 67

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.
“The Story ist boring, but that is not the Problem, I hate the Charakters, they do not have any personality, the charackters were written by aliens you can think.”

“I literally just created an account to give this a bad review. The story is stupid and not interesting at all. You just think all the time how stupid the characters are. I'm sorry if that's your favorite movie but I just can't watch it ever again.”

“I'm either too young to get the story or it's just pretty weird, cause I can't simply get main character's motivation. It's not a bad one, but there are definitely better movies”

“The story of a teen romance that almost wasn´t maybe is not of the big shots of Ghibli. The script should be a little more creative; but isn´t a full waste for time for the fans.”
