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 49 comments (49 from Metacritic) — 9 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 9 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 last moments of the film were a blast. Suspenseful, I'd say slightly moving and simply gripping”
MrPajamas · Metacritic ↗
“One of the most memorable moments is depicted right at the start of the film, when said pianist (Wladyslaw Szpilman) is performing in I assume a recording studio and the impact of war”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Polanski, himself a survivor of Nazi-occupied Poland, has created a near-masterpiece.”
Desson Thomson, Washington Post · 100
“There are three Poles in The Pianist -- Szpilman, Polanski, and Frederic Chopin. Of the three, fittingly, Chopin speaks the loudest.”
Ty Burr, Boston Globe · 100
“Roman Polanski's new movie may be the greatest historical film centered on an enigmatic character since Lawrence of Arabia.”
Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun · 100
“The director seems to be saying that, for survivors, art may be a way back to our finer selves -- extraordinary.”
Charles Taylor, Salon · 100
“The best film of 2002.”
David Edelstein, Slate · 100
