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 (71 from Reddit, 40 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 52 of them described how it moves.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Hard going most of the way through. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow, 1 that got a real laugh.

“However I still do not know what to make out of the ending. If feels strange and like an addition from another source (It is not).”
