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 57 comments (50 from Metacritic, 7 from TMDB reviews) — 16 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 16 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 first 30-40 minutes of the movie set the scene. Or, that feels like what they’re trying to do, but very little is actually set up. There’s almost no exposition given, the dialogue is hard to follow (not sure if that’s a writing issue or I just don’t understand Australian lingo), and very little context is shown.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Junky, freaky, sadistic, masochistic, Mad Max has a perverse intelligence revving inside its pop exterior. It's a crazy collide-o-scope, a gear-stripping vision of human destiny careening toward a cosmic junkyard. [21 July 1980, p.71]”
Jack Kroll, Newsweek · 90
“Mad Max has always radiated an otherworldly vibe, a slightly sickly sensation that something at its core is fundamentally wrong.”
Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian · 90
“Miller's work has been compared to Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, but where the Leone films are about amorality, the Mad Max movies are purely and simply amoral—some of the most determinedly formalist filmmaking this side of Michael Snow.”
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader · 90
“Simple, but effective.”
William Thomas, Empire · 80
“With his instinct and craft, Miller has provided more autosuggestive violence on a $1 million budget than The Blues Brothers did with half the Chicago police force and $30 million.”
Richard Corliss, Time · 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.
