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 53 comments (49 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 8 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 8 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.

“Loses Its Narrative Grip in an Overly Frictionless Happy Ending”
famfacat · Metacritic ↗
“An overly smooth, frictionless happily ever after. 1. I could hardly feel loveliness or hope, and it felt boring. Has something gone wrong with me? The fairytale progression that makes no sense feels suffocating.”

“starting off with a decent first act”

“truly comes into its own as soon as the story moves to Paddington's time in prison, honestly, it could've been called Paddington in Prison, from there, the film just keeps improving”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Paddington 2 is every bit as enchanting as the first, perhaps even more so, but it feels arbitrary to pick a winner. The film is a pure delight, as sweet and sharp as, well, marmalade, really.”
Olly Richards, Empire · 100
“An exemplary sequel, the film retains the innocence and beguiling lack of cynicism of the first film, but moves on to explore other motifs”
Wendy Ide, Screen Daily · 100
“It’s a family adventure that’s the right sort of heartwarming, delivering real human emotion through the medium of a small bear.”
Helen O’Hara, Time Out London · 100
“Aside from being a disarming, refreshing wallow in kindness, Paddington 2 also has the benefit of being well-constructed and exceedingly well-performed.”
Bilge Ebiri, Village Voice · 100
“Mr. King and his excellent team of actors and animators spin good writing and seamless digital effects into Rococo children’s entertainment. The gags don’t accumulate; they tessellate.”
Teo Bugbee, The New York Times · 100

“**Possibly better than its predecessor, which is no small feat.** Charming and hilarious, with more than enough jokes for the young and the old to enjoy. Hugh Grant is an excellent and highly comical villain, and the rest of the cast is jam packed with cameos from British notables. A very worthy sequel 8/10”

“I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the first _Paddington_ and almost as surprised again by how much this one lived up to it as a sequel. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._”

“One of the greatest films ever made and I will stand by that. It is extremely funny, charming and at some points very moving. The type of film that promotes cohesion and peace in society, and more importantly directs those messages towards children! The way it presents integration is so incredibly empowering, showing how, through difficulty, if you are with the right people- they will come together to help you (you being Paddington in this scenario). And whilst the first film is fantastic- this”
