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 32 comments (31 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 13 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 13 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.

“Engaging from the very first frame this drama based on Tami Oldham Ashcraft’s real-life survival story places the viewer in some very challenging situations.”

“I felt frustrated that it seemed like we (the viewer) aren't given all the details about what happened beforehand, what precisely led to the scenario we're shown near the start, until much later on.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“It’s a true story, basically a two-hander about a pair of courageous lovers lost at sea, as crushingly hard to imagine as it is to watch, but every element is so perfect that it left me shaking and devastated.”
Rex Reed, Observer · 100
“Adrift doesn’t have quite the existential gut-punch of JC Chandor’s similar All Is Lost or the recent Cannes debut , but what it lacks in the department of pure howling cinema, it makes up for with the emotion of its central relationship.”
Jordan Hoffman, The Guardian · 80
“It’s all done expertly and with an unexpectedly deft sleight-of-hand twist in the homestretch that proves once again that Kormakur is the kind of overachieving director that one pigeonholes at their own risk. He has a knack for making the familiar feel more surprising than it is.”
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly · 75
“Although guilty of soft-peddling some harrowing aspects of the experience to achieve the teen-friendly PG-13 rating, Adrift nevertheless gives a flavor of the existential experience inherent in this situation by illustrating that surviving a shipwreck is as much about mental strength as physical endurance and stamina.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 75
“It's not just a story of an incredible feat of survival. It's also a love story, presented with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.”
Sheila O'Malley, RogerEbert.com · 75

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.

“This is an amazing movie of survival on the open sea. I'm going to watch this again, in a few years from now, when I've forgotten the details. Highly recommended film. It's theme may not be one that lifts your mood, but still, watch it. You won't regret it, it restores faith in what we are able to pull through.”
