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 27 comments (24 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β 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.

βOne great scene is when the submarine surfaces after torpedoing a couple ships in a British convoy; itβs like hell came to Earth.β

βThe film's slow pacing allows for an immersive experience, making viewers feel a part of the crew's long, tense moments of silence followed by the chaos of battle.β

βThe tension, the danger, this is a slow burn movie with a feeling that everything on-screen is authentic to the hellish experience of being stuck on a U Boat in WWII.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βWolfgang Petersen's direction is an exercise in pure craftsmanship. [Director's Cut]β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 100
βThe most convincing war movie ever made.β
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Β· 100
βAt once a devastating condemnation of war and an exciting action film...The additional running time only adds to Petersen's masterfully bleak, claustrophobic atmosphere. Das Boot is by no means a pleasant experience, but it's an intelligent and emotionally gripping one that you won't forget. [Director's Cut]β
Keith Phipps, The A.V. Club Β· 100
βTakes all of the drama and suspense inherent in a submarine-based story and delivers it in a near-perfect package, establishing Das Boot as not just a terrific adrenaline rush, but one of the best movies ever made. [Director's Cut]β
James Berardinelli, ReelViews Β· 100
βA great movie just got greater, thanks to this thorough restoration. [Director's Cut; 27 June 1997, p.D3]β
Mike Clark, USA Today Β· 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.
