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 48 comments (47 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 16 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 16 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.

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.
“It's hardly the first movie to deal with thimble-size protagonists, but it's one of few animated fairy tales to genuinely transport the audience into their world and, in the process, let us see our own with fresh awe and respect.”
Sam Adams, Time Out · 100
“As lovingly written as it is beautifully rendered.”
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer · 100
“Set in an enchanting locale where the potential for magic is everywhere, this impeccable animated film puts its complete trust in the spirit of make-believe.”
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times · 100
“A marvelously captivating animated feature.”
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor · 100
“Even when making movies for small children, Studio Ghibli produces stories that are more emotionally sophisticated, and less philosophically polarized, than most adult fare.”
Tasha Robinson, The A.V. Club · 91

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.
