I'll take this one. Give me a few minutes to go through the article. Rusted AutoParts 18:29, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Full review[edit]

This one needs a bit of work to say the least. Rusted AutoParts 19:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • The lead should be expanded a fair bit to touch on all parts of the article.

Plot[edit]

  • Plot section needs a fair amount of trimming, as it currently exceeds the 700 word maximum laid out in WP:FILMPLOT. It presently sits at 857 words.

Production[edit]

  • Filming section could use some more detail. Just running down where it shot doesn't really suffice for me. Perhaps put in some details from the cinematographer, something of that vein. There being five film editors on the project seems like something interesting that could be touched on, if there's information about why 5 were involved.
  • The images used should be shrunk down a bit as they bleed into sections they aren't relevant in, and should go left/right in terms of symmetry. There should also be a bit more variety in the images shown.

Accolades[edit]

  • With it's Oscars nominations mentioned in the lead, they should also be mentioned in the Accolades section.

References[edit]

  • There's one deadlink in the article.
  • All sources should be archived.

Other[edit]

  • Given the subject matter of the film, I feel the article would really benefit from a Themes section to discuss what the film was about. There's a view tidbits about themes in the critical response section.
  • I'd advise going through and making sure everything is written in a past tense. For example, in the development section, the sentence "Pohlad recalls initially thinking the idea was "crazy," but as the film concept evolved, he came to feel strongly about the idea". Recalls should be recalled.

That's all I'm seeing for now. Work through these, and I'll keep an eye out for other changes. For now, I'll place this  On hold. Rusted AutoParts 19:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@StrangeloveFan101: are you still planning to work on this? It has been almost a week since starting the review, I may have to fail it within the next two days should no activity be made on this. Rusted AutoParts 13:43, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for my delayed response. I've had to deal with some things in real life. I'm afraid I won't be working on this, due to the fact that I won't have the time to do so. So I guess this'll fail the review. StrangeloveFan101 (talk) 03:09, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
