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 45 comments (42 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 6 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 cold pulse of will. 'Gattaca' is one of those films that leave me with a feeling of absolute indifference, as if the journey had been correct yet emotionally distant. The problem is not the story itself —the premise works and is genuinely stimulating— but the atmosphere. Its sober, harsh, restrained and cold world builds a barrier that is difficult to cross for most of the runtime. Everything is measured, clean, calculated… and that very rigidity is what, paradoxically, keeps me at a distance as a viewer.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“A handsome and fully imagined work of cautionary futuristic fiction.”
Janet Maslin, The New York Times · 90
“Niccol's futuristic fable is a gorgeous construct, from its cast on down to the brilliant, clinical nature of the set design that reflects a future in which even a particle of saliva can be one's undoing.”
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle · 89
“This is one of the smartest and most provocative of science fiction films, a thriller with ideas.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 88
“The average thriller, even if it's set in a faraway or futuristic world, tends to offer visceral, ephemeral excitement, and not much else. However, while Gattaca has the energy and tautness to compare with the best of those, its thought-provoking script and thematic richness elevate it to the next level.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 88
“The film's bleak future society is admittedly nothing new, and there's no lack of contrived or wooden moments, but Gattaca's parable of nature versus nurture is compelling enough to make it worth seeing for reasons besides art direction.”
John Krewson, The A.V. Club · 80

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.

“Simply put, Gattaca is one of the greatest movies ever made. Some might think that's going too far but it truly is a masterpiece. Everything from the casting, set design, cinematography, writing and the Universe in which the story takes place. It is not only a great source of entertainment but an inspiring work of art. By far the most poetic movie I have had the pleasure of watching. Every line is elegiac and truly beautiful. It's the type of movie that keeps you thinking days after the cred”
