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 8 comments (4 from TMDB reviews, 4 from Metacritic) β 4 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 4 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.

βThe Hustler is one of those films where scenes have such psychic weight that they grow in our memories. That's true of the matches between Eddie and Fats.β

βOne of the most compelling character-based films to emerge from the decade of the 1960s.β

βThere's a huge amount of style in this picture, but also a huge amount of substance underpinning it.β

βThis dark stunner, based on Walter Tevis's novel, boasts Paul Newman in the role that made him an overnight superstar.β

βThe Hustler is one of the highlights of Paul Newmanβs career. The film is often ranked as one of the best films of its time, largely thanks to Newmanβs excellent portrayal of the down beaten Felson.β

βA decent enough film with some good performances. The storyline is ok, but not great! Worth watch, though I wouldn't rush back to see it again!β

βCinematic brilliance. Newman, Laurie, Scott, McCormick & Gleason were incredible. From writing to cinematography to lighting to music to directing this is one of the most impactful & artistic films ever made.β

βNormally, I really like Anne Hathaway. **Especially** recently. But not only did I think The Hustle was pretty bad, even she specifically was pretty bad in it. _Final rating:β β - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._β

βIt's pretty much a re-make of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" which was itself a remake, only this one isn't as good. It's actually just "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" that has been gender swapped and, like all of the gender swapped remakes of late, the humor, the plot, the entire story is wrapped around the fact that the gender has been swapped, and done so without an actual story or humor.
