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 41 comments (38 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 12 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 12 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.

“I found the experience to be an exhausting "revelation" of how a long runtime can feel like an eternity when the "chewy" tension is completely absent.”

“The film’s extended runtime feels justified because scenes have clear purpose”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.
“Denzel Washington dazzles in his best screen performance to date as Frank Lucas.”
Lou Lumenick, New York Post · 100
“This is an engrossing story, told smoothly and well, and Russell Crowe's contribution is enormous.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 100
“It has the aspirations of an epic of crime and punishment, a superb feel for time and milieu, and an almost subliminal feel for myth.”
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post · 90
“Finely made and richly satisfying film.”
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times · 90
“Crowe has rarely been better, and the same goes for director Scott, who parallels and then dovetails Lucas and Roberts' stories with sublime, gritty precision, working up to a magnificent "Godfather III"-style crosscutting sequence that electrifies an already explosive tale.”
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle · 89

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.

“Quite a disappointed since it is really as much as you expect, but nothing new. Washington and Russell perform really well, so, as a characters movie, it works. It doesn't work at all as a biopic. Too much Hollywood on it.”
