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 20 comments (11 from Metacritic, 9 from TMDB reviews) — 7 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 7 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.

“From the first, the film is rather jarring but honest about its juvenile depiction of "climbing".”

“I felt my body constricting away slightly and getting anxious during the gravity yawning scenes, 2000ft above the ground!”

“Fall stretched on a little longer than needed”
The Movie Mob · TMDB reviews ↗
“Fall is a sweaty palms, nerve racking ride, that plays, with gleeful sadism, on one the most basic and widespread, of human fears.”
MovieGuys · TMDB reviews ↗
“I frequently found myself holding my breath, tensing, jumping and having to take breaks to get over my own sense of fear, at what I was witnessing.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Fallen Leaves is the best big-screen romance of the year even though its prospective lovers exchange only a handful of words and, for most of the film, don’t know each other’s names.”
Jake Coyle, The Associated Press · 100
“The key to this movie’s winning emotional delicacy is its formal sturdiness. Every shot has a specific job to do and does it well. The performances are measured and restrained.”
Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com · 100
“There’s life boiling under the simple surfaces, which is both Kaurismäki’s aesthetic mantra and his great theme. At their best, these quiet, cool films tear you to pieces. Fallen Leaves already feels like one of his signature works.”
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 100
“Kaurismäki does not shrink from present-day buzz-kills like updates on Russia’s attacks against Ukraine, or the afflictions of poverty on Helsinki’s working class. But here again, is the contrast; even amid conflict, things charming and funny can occur.”
Thom Ernst, Original-Cin · 100
“The year’s most succinctly perfect film, Fallen Leaves aims to do for us what companionship does for its couple: make this treacherous life a bit more bearable.”
Carlos Aguilar, Los Angeles Times · 100

“A ponderous and depressing romantic comedy involving people who are struggling to make ends meet, and relentless drinking.”
SayreTXread it ↗
“As always, Aki Kaurismäki takes deadpan comedy to the limit with 'Fallen Leaves,' a beautiful film that, through two hapless people in search of relief, meditates on the meaning of happiness for the working class. Although the film presents Kaurismäki's characteristic humor, it's also impregnated with perpetual sorrow, which is felt through the news about the war that can be heard on the radio, the oppression of capitalism, and the poor working conditions. But in the end, Kaurismäki offers hope ”
