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 53 comments (47 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) — 24 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“I haven't been so captivated, chilled and surprised by a movie in years.”
William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 100
“The 11-year-old Osment evokes the boy's terror and awful predicament so memorably, you'll never forget him.”
Desson Thomson, Washington Post · 90
“(Osment) delivers what may be the greatest performance ever by a child actor.”
Rod Dreher, New York Post · 88
“Perhaps the most startling part is the realization that, in the turn-off-your-brain season of summer, you've just experienced an uncommonly serious-minded movie that's brave enough to engage our deepest emotions on issues of death, madness, illusion and forgiveness. That's the biggest thrill of them all.”
Marc Caro, Chicago Tribune · 88
“The filmmaker keeps upping the ante with surprises until the plot-twist beaut that concludes the picture - a shocker that, upon reflection, is probably the one ending that wouldn't have fallen a little flat.”
Mike Clark, USA Today · 88
