how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β 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 10 comments (5 from TMDB reviews, 5 from Metacritic) β 5 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 5 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 β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThis coldly compelling film doesn't try to explain Michael's behavior or analyze his disease. As if doing penance for Michael's sins, it eventually metes out unequivocal punishment, but it is small consolation.β

βAs horrifying and hard to watch as you'd expect a paedophile's-eye view of life to be. It's neither sensationalist nor trite, and the questions it asks are intelligent and thoughtful.β
Damon Wise, Empire Β· 80
βWriter-director Markus Schleinzer's exceedingly dark drama -- guaranteed to make audiences squirm in their seats -- is emotionally unsettling.β
Mike Scott, New Orleans Times-Picayune Β· 80
βDreadful as the subject matter is, the authenticity of the performances and the skill of Schleinzer's filmmaking are difficult to deny in this portrait of a monster as the bland guy next door.β

βLike Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and Dylan's 'No Direction Home', this Michael Jackson biop is also highly sanitised and clearly unwilling to dare to be anything more than a PG re-telling of his rise to **** as the Prince of Pop. That being said, I still enjoyed it because it's Michael and his nephew Jaffar plays him brilliantly, alongside Colman Domingo as his scene-stealing, antagonistic Father. Sadly, 'Earlier versions of the script included the child sexual abuse accusations against Michael,β

βI super duper enjoyed the movie. It really brought back the Michael Jackson back from the grave. The fans of the whole wide world loved it. Antoine Fuqua did an excellent job not bringing the controversial of Michael Jackson. Just focusing uprising to the fame. I don't care what the critics say. Go and watch the movie yourself. Jaafar Jackson & Colman Domingo did excellent in the movie. my rating for the movie 9.5/10. You won't regret it from watching it all over again. Especially on IMAX formatβ
