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 39 comments (39 from Metacritic) — 12 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 12 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.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“While I think If I Stay has to do a fair amount of juggling to get its premise to work, there is a cumulative power to it that I found undeniable and earned.”
Drew McWeeny, Hitfix · 83
“Cutler is selling a certain kind of product with If I Stay, but he sells it honestly and well.”
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune · 75
“Manipulative, contrived, melodramatic — all labels we slap on that most perfectly titled movie genre, “the weeper.” All fit If I Stay like original packaging.”
Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service · 63
“The adults fare best. Leonard and Enos have more electricity than the teens do. And the best performance is a low-key, authentic one by Stacy Keach as Mia's grandfather.”
Claudia Puig, USA Today · 63
“One of the most curious aspects of If I Stay is the way it rigorously ignores religion and spirituality. With the exception of an undefined "white light" image that recurs, the movie never once mentions "God" (as an entity). For a movie that is so much about death, it seems like an odd omission.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 63

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.
