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 17 comments (17 from Metacritic) — 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.

“The film rides its sweet spot for a good long while, watching the scumbags bounce around swanky offices or talk show sets, saying witty, misleading ****, but that kind of wicked entertainment can't last forever.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“A sly, smart and very funny caricature of corporate politics and image culture.”
Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 100
“Both sides of the political fence will feel royally skewered. All that's lacking is a warning from the Surgeon General: This film will make you laugh till it hurts.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 88
“The razor-sharp satire Thank You for Smoking is the wittiest dark comedy of the year thus far. It has appeal to all sides of the political spectrum.”
Claudia Puig, USA Today · 88
“It's more fun than a turkey shoot. It's also one of the most entertaining riffs on American culture in years.”
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News · 88
“The first film in a long time with a true gift of gab. A lot of the time people actually talk fast in it. Its wisecracks actually crack wise.”
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune · 88

“This slickly produced movie tries hard to seem impartial - with a dig at both sides of the ‘for and against’, health and moral aspects of the cigarette game. While it’s smart (at times maybe too smart for its own good) like the ‘Spin’ Drs themselves, it falls between the impossible task of trying to please everyone (a sure formula for failure, and pleasing no-one).

“"Thank You For Smoking" couldn't be a better representation of Jason Reitman's talents. It's quick, tight, sharp-witted and thematically potent. What better film to start off a promising career in filmmaking with? Now, I'll admit that, when it comes to satire I'm all over the map. For me, it all depends on the world you build, the entertainment value present in your characters and the message you're trying to mete out. This one ticked the boxes for me in nearly every regard.
