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 114 comments (74 from Reddit, 36 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 26 of them described how it moves.

📈 rising arc — Builds the whole way through. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. In the last stretch it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 4 that landed as a blow, 1 that gave people chills.

tension rail: how much was still unresolved
marks: single moments — a jump, a blow, chills, a laugh
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

“Oh my god I literally gasped when Luca betrayed him like that. Like I get Alberto was being jealous and they were in a fight, but I did not expect Luca to turn his back on his best friend like that, especially when they are sharing the same secret. I felt so bad for Alberto and their talk afterwards at the fort hit even harder!”

“Starting from the first moments, where we see one of the protagonists flying, not swimming, flying across the seabed, there is so much the lack of elements that could suggest the movement in a fluid rather than in the air like bubbles that form at the ends, a sway of the seen around the character and in the trail he leaves.”

“I will never forget the first time I saw La Luna with a crowd. The look of the glowing stars scattered in millions and covering the moon left us in awe — like, we literally wowed at the look of them. Was it the first time for our eyes to be graced with the wonder of magical cinematic experience? Definitely not — or at least not for me.
