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 14 comments (11 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 2 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.
“Today, nearly fifty years after it was made, Rashomon has lost none of its fascination or power. It's still a marvelous piece of cinema that asks unanswerable questions of great import.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 100
“The wonder of Rashomon is that while the shadowplay of truth and memory is going on, we are absorbed by what we trust is an unfolding story.”
Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com · 100
“It was the film that introduced the world at large to master director Akira Kurosawa and his frequent, infinitely watchable star Toshiro Mifune.”
Adam Howard, CineVue · 100
“One of the most brilliantly constructed films of all time, RASHOMON is a monument to Akira Kurosawa's greatness, combining his well-known humanism with an experimental narrative style that has become a hallmark of film history.”
Staff (Not Credited), TV Guide Magazine · 100
“Every element in the film, from the dense thicket of forest branches to master cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa's deceptive framing and lighting design, is precisely calibrated to make the facts more difficult to discern.”
Scott Tobias, The A.V. Club · 100

“A story about stories. Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950) is one of cinema's greatest explorations of truth, perception, and morality. It tells a single incident, a murder and an assault, from multiple points of view. It’s amazing how this storytelling structure was conceived, and how later the very idea came to be known as the Rashomon Effect. What a legend. I love the film’s minimal setting, its extraordinary direction, and Kurosawa’s masterful use of light and shadow, especially in the forest”

“**A good movie.** Despite acknowledging the quality and attention to detail, I can't really enjoy Japanese cinema. Maybe because it's so different from what we have around here. But even being so different, we have to recognize the talent of those who have it. Akira Kurosawa is a director with a sharp eye and detail, who knows how to direct the people under his command and extract from each one what he needs for the film he has in hand. This film seemed to me to be a lot more complicated t”
