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 57 comments (48 from Metacritic, 9 from TMDB reviews) — 17 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 17 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.

“I really really like that at the end we do not know what happens as the main character breaks free - perfect and ominous closure to this story!”

“I felt so terribly sorry for Truman, and the cruelty of the watching world was so utterly disgusting that tears kept flowing without stopping.”
famfacat · Metacritic ↗
“For the entire 2 hours i'm usually am complete absorbed no matter how many times i've seen this film.”
badshaped · Metacritic ↗
“When Truman discovers the truth, appalled at the idea of what he’s been subject to, he panics and bolts. Society (both in the viewing audience and in their twisted cinematic mirror image) cheers his escape; the orchestra swells; the vibes are good. The little man is resisting a truth that’s been imposed by external forces.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“A gemlike picture crafted with rare and immaculate precision.”
Todd McCarthy, Variety · 100
“Delicately subversive, hypnotically sardonic, full of terror, banality and wafer-thin lyricism.”
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune · 100
“That rare cinematic experience-a movie so close to pure perfection that it seems a shame to spoil it by even reading a review beforehand.”
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post · 100
“An original, inspired piece of work.”
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“Weir's offbeat directing makes the most of Andrew Niccol's inventive screenplay, which includes large doses of surprisingly sardonic satire aimed at today's entertainment trends.”
David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor · 100

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.

“**"The Truman Show"** dares to question the reality. It's original, complex, and philosophical. It manages to make you feel truly frustrated and **claustrophobic**. Perhaps many of us can relate to Truman as we live in a time of routines. We often live our lives without giving a second thought to the simplicity and meaninglessness of life itself. Our limited perspectives keep us from seeing. The lies we are told keep us from the truth. If we could push the boundaries of our reality, what are”

“Truman...One of my favourite films. It's just hilarious. The whole concept that this man thinks he is living in the real world. Very well done to the Director and Writers!”
