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 54 comments (49 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.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays β admired more than it is enjoyed.
βItβs a perfect marriage of direction, performances, and writing, the kind of comedy that people eagerly wait for. Its solutions arenβt easy, and its paths unusual, but itβs a love story that completely earns its emotional peaks, and the kind of comedy that makes you wish every single one of them were this great.β

βDirector Showalter does a beautiful job of twining Nanjiani and Romanoβs similar slump β you smile at what a perfect almost-father and son they already are β and he steers Hunter to a rapprochement of uncommon complexity and grace. And we thought we were watching a Judd Apatow film.β

βI fell hard for both Ms. Kazan and Mr. Nanjiani and The Big Sick, which tells a great story with waves of deep feeling and questions of identity and makes the whole thing feel like a breeze.β
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Β· 100
βItβs hilariously hyperverbal, yet wonderfully heartfelt.β
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal Β· 100
βItβs a movie that not only puts human imperfections and incongruities on display, but also revels in them.β

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.

βCharmingly funny. Not a clichΓ© comedy at all. A little heavy on the Uber references, but still a movie that can be watched multiple times. (Saw at a pre-screening in Seattle.)β

βFULL DISCLOSURE: I saw this while I was working my ass off in a foodtruck at an outdoor cinema. I missed whole chunks of it, and it certainly didn't have my full focus. I'll give it a proper chance at a later date, and alongside that, another review.
