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 34 comments (32 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 10 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.

“The pacing severely drags in the second act”
vinimonteiro · Metacritic ↗
“Much of the film relies on filler and overdone cartoon shenanigans”
Gamzguy17 · Metacritic ↗
“Another problem was the ending, which is sooo like blue sky studios. If it were pixar or dreamworks, they would have made it much more interesting and emotional. I also felt they ruined it by showing that Nina come at the end, for no damn reason at all.”

“The movie perks up a little when the goat is introduced and gives the movie some much needed humor”
Bikerjames · Metacritic ↗
“The horses are the funniest part of the film, but they don't have a lot of screen time”
Bikerjames · Metacritic ↗
“The final bullfighting scene is very well directed.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The film incorporates the book’s story arc, with stylistic nods to Robert Lawson’s drawings of Spanish scenes and people. But it also adds new incidents, characters and depth, with a contemporary wit that doesn’t coarsen the story — or not much, anyway.”
Jane Horwitz, Washington Post · 88
“In what’s been an underwhelming year for big-studio animation, it’s the best of the bunch: sincere, likable, surprisingly funny, and overall true to its source material.”
Peter Debruge, Variety · 80
“If you can get through the excess of characters, and the requisite butt jokes, car chase and tween pop songs, the film does keep both the physical and the verbal comedy coming at a steady pace.”
Alonso Duralde, TheWrap · 75
“Along with charming animated visuals, spot-on voice talent and nicely paced direction, Ferdinand incorporates themes that are very relevant and much-needed for our time.”
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times · 75
“What is truly amazing about this film is how thoughtfully Ferdinand questions male gender expectations.”
Susan Wloszczyna, RogerEbert.com · 75
