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 52 comments (49 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.

“The whole father-daughter vacation setup sounds nice, but the pacing is so slow and the tone so muted that I kept waiting for something to finally happen.”

“And that final strobe-light sequence, where adult Sophie is trying to piece together what happened to her father… it’s visually interesting but didn’t move me the way it was clearly meant”

“It’s a small story on the outside, but so emotionally charged it hurts.”

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.
“With remarkable confidence, [Wells] just lets her movie unspool naturally, like a haunting and deceptively simple short story. The details accumulate; the images reverberate; the unshowy gentleness of the central relationship inexorably deepens in importance.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian · 100
“Aftersun flows like a fondly remembered memory that’s been replayed endlessly, as if trying to find an important detail that might explain what happened. The easy pace of Wells’s direction brings out the best in her central performers, and the chemistry between Mescal and Corio plays out effortlessly. The light moments between them are warm and the darker ones linger heavily”
Anna Bogutskaya, Time Out · 100
“That a director can summon such emotional maturity paired with grand narrative originality in her first outing, particularly working from a deeply personal standpoint, astounds. Wells, a forward-thinking artist, invites into a vortex of feelings and sensations that fully exploits the language of cinema for its gorgeously humanistic pursuit.”
Carlos Aguilar, TheWrap · 100
“Wells’ debut is a frankly astonishing work which will leave a lasting impression.”
John Bleasdale, CineVue · 100
“A stunning debut that develops with the gradual poignancy of a Polaroid, Charlotte Wells’ Aftersun isn’t just an honest movie about the way that we remember the people we’ve lost — fragmented, elusive, nowhere and everywhere all at once — it’s also a heart-stopping act of remembering unto itself.”
David Ehrlich, IndieWire · 100

“‘After’ is this weird blend of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ meets ‘Riverdale’ but never gets to the dumb fun both those are, nor does it have the sex appeal of those properties (there is a reason he is facing away from the camera on the poster). ‘After’ does not belong in cinemas nationwide; it’s even below Netflix's standards. It’s more of a YouTube original, or even just something to release on the Wattpad site for free. Still, the book’s sequels have been slated for production, so it looks like we’”

“In general, the movie offers an engaging story that captures your attention, although it does have some noticeable plot holes and questionable moments throughout. The film heavily emphasizes sexual content, centering much of its focus on these aspects, which may not be to everyone's taste. Overall, the movie isn't terrible, but it's not exceptional either. It falls somewhere in the middle, making it at least somewhat decent and worth watching at least once.”

“After - Chapter 1 was a strong start for the series. Protagonist Tessa quickly becomes riddled with cliches and we soon grow attached to the real show stopper of the movie, Hardin, played by Hero Fiennes. Hardin is a pretentious drunk, whose pastime is insulting homeless people (spoiler!) and abusing his girlfriend. The lack of alchemy and semblance of love between the two characters reinforce the vision of abuse presented to us. Overall a solid recommandation for the whole family.”
