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 16 comments (15 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 1 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 1 comment. 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.
“Summer Wars surprisingly celebrates togetherness and bravery as much as binary-mathematics expertise, all helped along by a kick-ass synthesis of traditional hand-drawn scenes and fluid, rainbow-explosive CG artistry.”
Nick Schager, Time Out · 80
“Running almost two hours, its increasingly convoluted narrative may be too difficult to follow for younger viewers. But its thematic ambition and dazzling visual style ultimately make it one of the more rewarding anime efforts to reach these shores.”
Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter · 80
“Hosoda, who directed the cult film "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," has made a sophisticated yet poignant family entertainment with an appeal beyond Japanese animation buffs.”
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times · 80
“Summer Wars is a magnificently manufactured piece of film entertainment that goes beyond the obvious and manages to comment, often obliquely, on everything from Facebook to virtual war and/or terrorism without ever seeming heavy-handed or strident.”
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle · 78
“It's the kind of fun and quirky film that you don't see very often in art houses this time of year.”
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle · 75

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.

“A Great-Grandmother's Teachings of Sharing Meals and Love in Summer, Mixed with the Hectic Charm of a Four-Generation Clan.240624 (2.0)The lively, harmonious sight of four generations living under one roof in a traditional noble clan was wonderful to see. However, it is quite disappointing that the hacking war and metaverse interface were reduced to simple 2D action game mechanics. The fact that the ultimate final battle comes down to a high schooler playing a traditional card game like Koi-Koi ”

“I grew up loving the Digimon movie as a kid. Call it nostalgia or just a general love of everything digimon. When I was told by my friend that there was a movie that was basically Our War Game by the same director but more complete, cohesive and "way better" I was excited. After watching Summer Wars I find myself underwhelmed and I'm a little sad about that. The movie visually is great especially during the parts that take place online. The visual style is unique and it's amazing to see the cre”

“This is not a masterpiece, and I am no expert on Japanese animation, but I am willing to give it a high rating because it is a good movie for teenagers and families. The animation is realistic and attractive. The story focuses on a couple of teens (computer geek Kenji and cute Natsuki). He is roped into going to her grandmother's huge estate and pretending to be her boyfriend, and soon enough all heck breaks loose. Her whole family shows up, and soon everyone is embroiled in a worldwide batt”
