how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β 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 53 comments (48 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) β 11 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 11 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.

βMy only major complaint is the final seen is ridiculously over the top where a crowd at the end all cheer for Snowden at the end. I think this stripped away the ambiguity of the film and I wish it had been cut.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βYou might not agree with Stone that the man is a hero, but you probably do want to see the film so you can compute what the whole uproar was about.β

βItβs the most important and galvanizing political drama by an American filmmaker in years.β
Owen Gleiberman, Variety Β· 100
βMoviegoers will love or hate Oliver Stone and his politics until the end of time. With well-made movies such as Snowden, though, his skill as a filmmaker becomes much harder for the detractors to debate.β

βGordon-Levitt turns in an Oscar-worthy performance as a man whoβs all too aware of what heβs letting himself in for. And Woodley skillfully balances a range of emotions as Lindsay.β

βSnowden has a secret weapon, and itβs one that I wasnβt expecting: a fully-engaged and on-his-game Oliver Stone.β

β**He who became a people's hero by betraying his own nation!** I had like to begin by saying I'm not an American and I haven't seen the Oscar winning documentary 'Citizenfour'. But I'm very much aware of everything about it through the all kinds of coverages. So my perspective about the film will be true and about the content will be neutral. I have known about what this film dealt since the day it all began. I did not care much, but there are things to concern about it. Like if it is necessaβ

βJGL plays a pretty convincing Snowden or at least I think he does as I've only seen the real Snowden in video and Citizenfour. I don't know exactly how correct the movie is to the actual story but as most of these things go, the movie will have been created with a slightly exaggerated storyline and version of events. An enjoyable watch and a big tick for me was that the coding and terminology used in the movie were relatively correct and true to real life!β

βAlthough the movie is not perfect, it's flaws are limited, minute and easily ignored. **A must-watch for anyone using a computer!** This adaptation of Snowden's transformation from a talented programmer working for the United States secret service into a planetary hero really takes the viewer deeper into the true story on which this film is based. It shows the human side of the path towards revealing the truth. Relational tensions, covertly supportive colleagues and the need to stay cool are β

β**It's a forgettable film, with nothing remarkable about it other than the fact that it makes an open defense of Edward Snowden and what he did.** Oliver Stone has given us a film that could not be more controversial: a biography of Edward Snowden, an ex-military and former US spy who worked as an intelligence analyst for the CIA and the NSA. It's not worth getting into the script, almost everyone knows who Snowden is and what he did. What varies a lot is how each person faces it. To many Ameβ
